Stépahnie (Michelini), a transsexual prostitute, lives life on the edge, pursuing tricks in Parisian discotheques, parks and hotel rooms. Accompanying her through many of these escapades is Jamel (Belmadi), a North African hustler who welcomes the nightlife with Stéphanie as a means of escape from his dreary days in a housing project. When Stéphanie meets Mikael (Nikitine), an illegal Russian immigrant, they establish an unconventional union with Jamel that fulfills their needs for emotional comfort.  Director Sébastien Lifshitz created a stir at this year's Berlin Film Festival with a work that challenges the notion of family values with Fassbinder-esque defiance.
