Two youths meet at a crucial moment in their lives. Paco is 16, of modest background and is seeking his way in an underprivileged domestic and social milieu. He lives in a housing project with his jobless, alcoholic father and violent drug dealer brother. His only positive references in this hostile environment are his sister whom he defends against his big brother and a highly concerned teacher who tries to encourage the good student in him. Nadia is a Moroccan-born teenager who wants to go to the university. But her father and brother want to restrict her future to being a wife and forbid here. When Nadia and Paco meet there is a flash of hope, even if many obstacles lay ahead.
