Why ? Because a 16-year-old boy, Abdel Ichaha, is at near death after being beaten up under questioning by a police officer. Among these kids blinded by HATE are three homeboys - Hubert, Saïd and Vinz. Together they're about to live the most important day of their lives. Because today there's the fourth hero of our story : the gleaming, chromeplated 9mm Beretta automatic which a plainclothes policeman is reported to have lost during the rioting.
