Driss and Manuel both grew up on the same council estate. An estate where the sense of belonging to your patch is much stronger than the sense of belonging to a country, a nation or a culture... Manuel has assimilated this belonging, and he has even benefited from it and built his life on it. Driss, meanwhile, has shunned it. They will both have to face up to the consequences of their decisions – because they will each have a price to pay…
This film feels like a raw, unflinching look at two lives shaped by their environment. It's a tense, character-driven drama that explores the heavy weight of choices and the enduring pull of one's roots.
