Drama

In Paris XVIIIth district, Lambert works the night shift at a gas station, rarely speaking, living alone, drinking. One day comes a half-jewish half-arab small-time crook in dire straits, pushing a Moped. Named Bensoussan, he takes refuge at the station pretending he needs a spark plug. The two men become friends.

VIBE

A raw, melancholic portrait of two lost souls finding an unlikely connection amidst the gritty streets. It feels like a quiet, observational study of urban isolation and the desperate search for belonging.
