19-year old Adrien leaves his mother in Toulouse after becoming mixed up in a theft. He heads for Paris where he hopes his estranged father, Clément, will offer him a helping hand. Clément, a middle-aged adolescent, can do little for him. He is more preoccupied with his wayward girlfriend Louise, who is barely older than Adrien and seems to live in a dream-world fuelled by drug addiction. The inevitable happens. Adrien falls in love with Louise and takes her away from Clément, but he soon realises that she is too much to handle. As Louise's fantasies take hold, Adrien finds himself drawn into another crime spree...
