    Brief synopsis

    Samba, a Senegalese man who's been living in Paris for ten years, gets by doing odd jobs. Alice is ahigh-level business woman suffering a burnout. He's been doing every thing he can to get his French identity papers, while she's trying to pull herself together by doing volunteer work for an immigrant association.
    Both are trying to find a way out of the impasse their lives are in, until the day that their paths cross.
    Between humor and emotion, their story opens up another way to happiness.
    What if life has more imagination than they do?
