The story centres on a group of teenagers street cast in their neighbourhood and selected to play in a feature film during the summer. The film tells the story of this film shoot and of the connections that will be formed during it.

Angélique, 13, the eldest of her many brothers and sisters, lives in the suburb of Valenciennes. This day, at school, she is offered to pass an audition for a film.

Whether it's a once in a lifetime television audition or a gruelling boxing competition, for these young women the chance to shine is sometimes worth the risk.
