Synopsis The Paris suburbs are the city's lungs. And while thousands of workers leave the suburbs for the capital every morning, there's a fraction of the suburban population that rejects this lifestyle. Pierre Cephas is one of those people. Every day, he has to deal with the police, the working world and omnipresent petty bosses. To forget this violent and dangerous world, he seeks refuge with his family or a few friends. A realistic character, he is utterly aware of his social standing. "We weren't interested in showing spectacular violence (the media handle that) but social tension. The suburbs are also a community with a sense of solidarity. Being from the suburbs is also an identity. We get the impression that the "label" has replaced that of the working class."
