Shaï and Djeneba are 20 years old and have been friends since childhood. That summer, they are holiday camp leaders. They are accompanying a group of children in the Drôme who, like them, have grown up between the towers of the Place des Fêtes in Paris. At the dawn of adulthood, they will have to make choices to shape their future and reinvent their friendship.
