Of love and heartbreak. Chimo is living a poor life in a poor area in a city in France, unsure of himself, living with his mother who was abandoned by her husband and his father. So she is protective of him. He has friends who are real jerks, and he is Arab. Into the area comes Lila, who is Polish, a beautiful blond girl who begins to flirt with him. She is also very open talking about sex, which takes him off guard. Chimo has a talent for writing, and has a chance to study in Paris which is free, but he also is torn about Lila. They develop a bond, which then annoys his friends. Is Lila showing a deeper feeling to him, or is she playing him? And will Chimo try to develop his feeling better towards her, as he cannot seem to express them? It is a very nice film, very tender is spots. But also explicit in parts, especially language.
