Fascism. Resistance. Apathy.
In the town of Balbek the far right are about to seize power. At the local theatre Aymeric dreams of celebrity; Lucas longs for a liberal revolution; Michael is seduced by the extremists. Juliette Demba is in fear for her life.
As this political earthquake convulses society Aymeric must make his choice: resist the forces of hatred or harness them for his own success.
