    Not much dialogues but a great story

    This movie tells in one hour more then other movies tell in two hours. This movie shows us the story of a young drop-out who becomes a member of a gang in Marseille. As in the movie 'la vie rêvée des anges', Zonca is rather deterministic. Once a drop-out, you'll always be a drop-out...
