     Six characters, six friends, six destinies crossing each other. Julie is just out of hospital following attempted suicide; Ali has left Morocco behind to live in France; Emilie experienced a broken love affair; Lucas is a young cook far from home and no longer knows who he is and where he is; Cecilie found a means of escape from reality in photography, and Jean-Paul is a militant catholic in conflict with his faith.

     Each of them must change, relinquish his/her identity, to establish a new path. This will not be possible without pain, without a struggle or suffering to find paradoxical happiness, the joy of having something to love in this world where love is so rare. All of them must face up to reality and not lose hope in their quest for happiness, in this urban drama on brutality and frailty of our lives.
