Yasmine left Beirut for the South of France years ago. An optimist by nature, she manages to find joy in her days in a suburban housing project in the Var region, but worries about the idleness and addictions of Naji, her only child. The young man dreams of becoming a rapper and fuels his creativity with drugs. Mother and son no longer know how to live together. When a cousin comes to live with them, it's like the promise of a new beginning: the sharing of common memories, the possibility of a different family dynamic, and the solidarity to face the challenges of daily life in a less than welcoming host country.
