Marc leads an idle existence in the Northwestern Parisian suburb of Gennevilliers. Among his few attachments is his more ambitious friend Nicolas, who finds their relaxed, unquestioning companionship invaluable and is more than happy to subsidize Marc’s inertia. When Marc crosses paths with Malika, the young woman’s presence exerts an almost supernatural pull on him — even as her precarious status as an illegal immigrant threatens to drag her from his life at any moment.
