Their bristling resentment at their own marginalization slowly simmers until it reaches a climactic boiling point. The film follows three friends, Vinz (Vincent Cassel), Saïd (Saïd Taghmaoui) and Hubert (Hubert Koundé), for 24 hours after the riots. When a young man named Abdel is arrested and beaten unconscious by police, a riot erupts in the housing projects outside of Paris. Nationale and Salomée Souag present Mathieu Kassovitz' 1995 cult film.
