Twenty-year-old Adile lives in Aubervilliers, one of the roughest slums in Paris, and spends his time hanging around the hood and fixing motorbikes, until his grandfather suddenly disappears. Portraying a tight-knit community, this stunning black-and-white film combines a series of intertwining narratives with real-life interviews with current and former residents of the neighborhood.
