19-year-old Boniface, known as Boni, ekes out a living as a pizza seller at the harbour in Marseille. He has broken up with his family since the death of his mother. The only thing that keeps him going is the hope of getting away from it all at some point. Until one day his younger sister Nénette turns up, seven months pregnant ... Always close to her characters, the young man's (sexual) dream worlds collide with the harsh reality of the rainy port city - to which the film is also an ode. Denis: "Here are two bodies that approach each other, perhaps because they smell the same, and who deny it all and would rather destroy everything than admit their attraction. A film of loneliness, not a group film."
