Philippe Pujol, winner of the 2014 Albert-Londres Prize, spent ten years living in the poorest neighborhood in Europe, in Marseille. He knows how to make cannabis cut with used oil.

Faced with external pressures, Melanie and Vagabonde find themselves reluctantly allied; thus begins their uncertain and perilous search for the man they both love.
