In the summer of 1979, gay porn producer Anne sets out to film her most ambitious film yet, but her actors are picked off, one by one, by a mysterious killer.

Nassim, a 16-year-old boy, is placed with a family in the suburbs following the death of his drug addict mother. But he refuses to integrate into the social setting that surrounds him. He invents another life for himself, similar to that of his mates at the big Parisian high school he goes to. There’s no reason for that to change. His two lives, his home life and his school life, must be kept separate at all costs.

Just when the school year is about to start after the summer break, 17-year-old Hedi learns that it has been decided by the administration that he must change his family name. The news troubles him and raises all kinds of questions: does changing his name also mean changing his identity, becoming someone else? Everyone around him has an opinion on the matter. It's up to him to discover his own, without becoming too lost in the process.
