In an invisible territory, on the margins of society, and on the border between illegality and anarchy, lies a melancholy community in danger of being forgotten. Disarmed war veterans, shady adolescents, drug addicts who seek in love a way out of addiction, ex-special forces agents always at war with the world, pregnant women adrift, old people who haven’t lost the will to live. In this hidden humanity one finds the chasms in today’s America. By the director of Stop the Pounding Heart. Un Certain Regard, Cannes Film Festival 2015.
