The film depicts approximately 19 consecutive hours in the lives of three friends in their early twenties from immigrant families living in an impoverished multi-ethnic French housing project (a ZUP – zone d'urbanisation prioritaire) in the suburbs of Paris, in the aftermath of a riot. Vinz (Vincent Cassel), who is Jewish, is filled with rage. He sees himself as a gangster ready to win respect by killing a cop, manically practising the role of Travis Bickle from the film Taxi Driver in the mirror secretly. His attitude towards police, for instance, is a simplified, stylized blanket condemnation, even to individual policemen who make an effort to steer the trio clear of troublesome situations. Hubert (Hubert Koundé) is an Afro-French boxer and small time drug dealer, the most mature of the three, whose gymnasium was burned in the riots. The quietest, most thoughtful and wisest of the three, he sadly contemplates the ghetto and the hate around him. He expresses the wish to simply leave this world of violence and hate behind him, but does not know how since he lacks the means to do so. Saïd – Sayid in some English subtitles – (Saïd Taghmaoui) is an Arab Maghrebi who inhabits the middle ground between his two friends' responses to their place in life.

Une écrivaine lit à un comédien le scénario de son prochain film. Il est question d'une femme prise en stop par un routier. Tout au long du trajet, la femme discute sans cesse alors que l'homme l'écoute et ne dit pas un mot. Le film ne montre pas les personnages, mais de nombreux plans d'un semi-remorque Saviem traversant divers paysages ruraux, images parlantes de l'expression (datant de la même époque) « beau comme un camion » et dont l'effet est de repousser le scénario vers une zone frontalière floue située entre la réalité et l'épiphénomène.
