Synopsis
Julie Bataille a 23 ans et, malgré ses diplômes, ne trouve pas de vrai travail. Elle travaille d'abord comme stagiaire dans une boîte de communication puis enchaîne les petits boulots. Au cours d'un entretien d'embauche, elle rencontre Ben, un jeune homme marginal épris de liberté, qui vit entre autres de petits trafics. Il lui propose de le rejoindre dans le Sud-Ouest durant l'été. Julie refuse dans un premier temps puis, sur un coup de tête, plaque tout et part le rejoindre. Le film glisse alors de l'analyse du monde du travail vers le road movie.Actors
