Sunday Night. Alex is an ultras, his team has just lost a game and he returns home
empty-headed. He lives with his grandmother in the absence of his parents and sells
Rivotril tablets to make some money. It’s an evening that doesn’t take off, Alex goes down to the basement of the building, to a cellar where several guys are. A rap battle is in progress. Nemy is a girl with refined rhymes who dances confidently and sinuously. She notices Alex and seeks his understanding. Together they cross the night in a stolen car. Two solitudes that recognise each other. Their bodies brush against each other in what seems to be the beginning of a love story.
