Synopsis
Condé-sur-Ginette is a ghetto, far away from the Caribbeans’ warm sand, palm trees and blue lagoons. We are in summer. The sun burns the tarred roads, asphyxiates the buildings and burnout people’s minds. Down here, everyone dream of Santo Rico’s beaches. Some, more than others… Tony Merguez and José Frelate, the two district’s MC’s, are about to go on holidays. Unfortunately their travel agency forgot their destination’s name. Back to Condé-sur-Ginette! To overcome this failure, Tony imagines himself as Montana in Scarface and tries to sell out some fresh weed, “nicely” lent by Zoran, a nasty and feared brute. As for José, he gets into the skin of Don Juan, working in a big mansion occupied by the beautiful and gentle… Clémence. Everything could work out – If a crazy mistress, a Norwegian sauna, a tough judge, angry cops or unable movie directors did not decide it otherwise.
