In Paris, two sworn enemies find each other in their hatred of someone they despise even more than each other: a homosexual. Drama about the arbitrariness and destructive and connecting powers of hate.

One Saturday night in a Paris suburb, an extreme right-wing nationalist meets an orthodox Muslim. Both men are frustrated with how the world labels them as stereotypes. Against their expectations, the two find each other in their hatred of a third type of human being they despise even more than each other: the homosexual. Drama about the arbitrariness of hate, the power of group identity and the need for an enemy.
