Synopsis

Following a trivial scooter accident, Zim, 20, must find a real job to avoid prison. Zim’s not the lazy kind, so he anxiously checks the classifieds. But the only job he finds requires him to report ten days later, with a car… and a driver’s licence! And of course, he has neither. But Zim is streetsmart, and so are his buddies: Cheb, Arthur and Safia. Who’ll stop at nothing to keep him away from the joint! –Cannes Film Festival
