Boni, short for Boniface, is a 19 year old pizza-maker. Living in Marseille, he works at the port. Since his mother's death, Boni won't have anything to do with his father, Felix, a lampshade dealer who takes care of Boni's 15 year old sister Nénette. Boni's life quickly falls into routine- pizzas, dreaming, dealing with the people in his insular world. He falls in love but this love leaves him more isolated. He waits, stuck in the humdrum existence of his familiar world, only escaping to his dreams which carry him off. One day Nénette jumps the schoolyard wall and arrives at her brother's home- a little house his mother left him, invading his private space, his bastion, his protective dream world...
