Abdel is driving his son, Amin, through the Parisian suburbs. The radio broadcasts the news of the day, while Amin is playing with the world floating by the window. Suddenly, they are stopped by the police. Apparently one of Abdel’s headlights is broken. AMIN tells the story of a boy discovering new perspectives onto a world made for adults, but also about his energy and violence, giving strength and overwhelming liberty.
