Film Synopsis

A family of African immigrants moves into a housing estate in the less salubrious suburbs of the French town of Mulhouse.  Their neighbours, mostly retired, are racially intolerant and resent their presence.  Crime is rampant in the area, and when one of the older residents witnesses a theft committed by African youths, he tips off the police.  The African family has a chance to win the respect of their neighbours by denouncing the culprit.
