Early 1980s, in the Parisian suburbs. While the arrival of the Left in power arouses the hope of a revival, Pascal, twelve years old, bears the full brunt of the separation of his parents and withdraws into himself.. His fate changes when he fraternizes with Alex, the college’s most popular student. Pascal is white, Alex is black. A detail ? Not so much when you’re twelve and looking for an identity. Quit leaving feathers there.
