Gaspard spends his nights reading the Odyssey. When Polo, who claims to be his cousin, shows up with a backpack full of CVs, Gaspard's life is turned upside down. A few blocks away, Bob yells insults and je t'aime at Josianne's window to get her to open the door. Pierre-Henri Brahim spots him and thinks he's found a friend. Fred wanders the streets with his crazy leg. They all end up at Josianne's house, where they learn that she is to be evicted. On the bangs of society, each of the characters is a world unto himself. Extravagant and endearing, they are the protagonists of a social comedy that tackles the issue of social marginalization with caustic humor and a great deal of tenderness.

Des gens passent et j'en oublie
