Film Synopsis
After spending two years in prison, Nasser returns to his old neighbourhood
in Pigalle and wastes no time hooking up his with old friends, former girlfriend
Bak and older brother Arezki, who now runs a bar named Le Prestige.
Nasser is taken aback when his brother refuses to loan him the bar for one
evening. Arezki knows his brother too well and tries to persuade him
that, now forty, he should change his ways and put his criminal exploits
behind him. These words fall on deaf ears, however. Nasser hasn't
lost his appetite for risk-taking and he seems to be as susceptible to small-time
criminality as he was before he was put inside. Some habits are just
too hard to kick...
