- Montreal. Ti-Red, freshly out of prison, roams the neighborhood looking for his girlfriend. Then together, they beg. Marco and Rob get high and prostitute themselves for a few dollars. Daguy, artist and homeless, philosopher in the tent that serves as his home and visits a friend who is barely better off. The filmmakers accompany them for a long time in their urban wanderings or in their trips - which sometimes amounts to the same thing. Day and night, the camera, as close as possible to the faces, follows these characters in perpetual motion in a very physical hand-to-hand combat. Working on each chapter with nervous, highly articulated editing, the film restores all the vitality and wild energy of this "marginal" world. Between cinema-verité and staging, this film made of dialogues and wanderings is part of the collective web-cinema project epopee.me, involving people in difficulty. Who here burst the screen with their presence and their humanity. A raw and dazzling response to all exclusions.

The love that joins them is once again confronted with the painful incidents of contemporary life.
