Kamel is a “double punishment” case: sentenced to prison and deported from French territory. He returns to the suburban housing estate near Paris where he grew up. Without legal papers but supported by his friends and family, he tries to reintegrate into society. A tender portrait of life in the housing projects and an uncompromising observation of social injustice and police violence: the first film of a raw, deeply sensitive filmmaker.
