In 1994 in a neighborhood on the outskirts of a city, an ordinary grudge fight between street youths turns into a catastrophe. Zakari accidentally kills François, panics, and then hides. During a night on the loose and full of unexpected meetings, the fever that shakes the city is on everyones faces, as if that real-life drama forced everyone to reveal his personal truth. There are those who are looking for Zakari to protect him, and there are those who want to avenge their brother. All are struck by the same torment. Whatever the color of their skin is, they are like each other like peas in a pod…
It is not Zakari who they are looking for so stubbornly, but something fascinating that could be like playing Russian roulette. This is the terrifying game of going through red lights at the most dangerous crossroads at the wheel of a stolen car… You can win a lot or lose your life in a fraction of a second.
