Cyril (Thomas Doret) is an 11 year old boy. His mother is gone, and his father has abandoned him. He's desperate to get his father to take him back. When he finds his father, he is still rejected. Samantha (Cécile De France) takes him on as his foster mother. She tries her best to keep him from delinquency and bad influences.
The kid doesn't have much charisma. He is just a regular kid, nothing special. In fact, most of this movie is a weak slice of foster kid life. Even when he's desperate to find his father, it was never desperate enough.
Then there comes one scene where Samantha valiantly tries to keep Cyril from going out. She knows he's up to no good. That one scene restarts the movie. The jump start carries it all the way to the end.
