18-year-old black kid Cédric is preparing to take his baccalaureat. Convinced that his future lies far from his south of France council estate, he dreams of moving to London with his childhood friend, Farès, who is struggling to escape the temptations of the neighbourhood. It is in the face of racist provocations at a football stadium that their friendship will be put to the test, leading to a confrontation.
