Djamila has married Jean, her handsome Frenchman. Jean has become a policeman. Bruno has just started driving a bus. His life is turned upside down the day he is attacked by a gang of kids from a neighboring project. The stab wound diminishes him physically and compromises his future. Despite Jean’s friendship and Djamila’s love, Bruno slowly isolates himself.

threatens to destroy everything around him.
