Movie description:
In Paris, Ismaël, a young Tunisian, cares for two brothers, Nouredine, a cripple, and streetwise Mouloud, 12. In haste, Ismaël and Mouloud go to Marseilles where an uncle lives. Nouredine has died in a fire, and Ismaël feels guilty on top of grief. Ismaël becomes friends with Jacky, a white man whose father and brother hate immigrants. Mouloud hangs out with cousin Rhida who breaks Islamic rules and deals hash. Ismaël decides Mouloud must return to Tunisia, but the boy runs off, becoming an acolyte to Rhida’s supplier. Ismaël and Jacky’s Arab girlfriend start an affair, friends betray friends, and the racism gets ugly. Can Ismaël rescue himself and Mouloud or will life in France crush them?
