It’s the story of a Frenchman, born in 1965, on the outskirts of Paris.
The story of a skinhead, who hates Arabs, Jews, blacks, communists and gays.
An anger that will take thirty years to die out. A bastard, who will take thirty years to become someone else. And he will never forgive himself for it.
