Synopsis :

Karim, a 7 years old boy, and Coralie, his sister of 11, lives with their mother in an estate which overhangs Marseille. Every morning, behind the wire fencing, they observe in the distance the prison where their father is imprisoned. After an ultimate search of their house by the police, of a felted violence, Karim and Coralie throw themselves in the unknow with the utopia to bring back the protective father.
