Mehdi roams the streets of Roubaix in his clandestine taxi. He lives by his wits and odd jobs. Among his friends are Sergio, who works in a supermarket; Willy, for whom friendship means something; Marc, a security guard obliged to give part of his salary to his boss; and Cécile. One day, Agatha, a young woman, arrives in Roubaix. She comes from a country where death has wreaked havoc, but she is full of life. She's just passing through; she won't stay. She must be helped, found a bed, a roof over her head, and money.
