After the death of his wife, a father raises his two sons alone. His bond with Fus, the elder, and Gilou, the younger, is a close one. But their town doesn't offer a lot of opportunities, and it soon becomes clear that the boys are heading down different paths. Gilou sets his sights on university in Paris. Fus, despite his socialist upbringing, falls in with the local far-right group. Though he joins mostly for the camaraderie, their activities, which might on the surface appear harmless, lead to a violent confrontation.
