Together with his cousin Tony and his best friend Ophélie, he spends his time between the Tunisian restaurant run by his parents, the local bars and the beaches frequented by girls on holiday.

Summer is coming to an end, Amin and his friends meet Marie, a young parisian student. She decides to follow them in a nightclub and experiences the group's moral issues and choices.
