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...
