CGiii Comment
This is not lifelessness - this is life for millions of people.
Seldom has mundane savagery been so eloquently transposed onto film.
This is a harsh reality - that is equally harsh on the senses.
An accomplishment that is indigestible.

A social movie about life nowadays in the north of France. Freddy and his friends are all unemployed. They try to pass away the time by wandering around on their motorcycles and by directing their aggressive feelings towards Arabic immigrants. Freddy is in love with Marie, a cashier at a local supermarket. When she is proposed by Kader, an young Arab man, Freddy and his friends have an idea: they decide to punish Kader for what they call "such a provocation." After they have raped another girl, Marie finally commits to Kader, which seals his fate.
