French policemen on the verge of a nervous breakdown. It is Carl's first day at work in a police station. From the Caribbean, he is entrusted to the expert Alain, fifty years old and also from the Caribbean but uncouth and violent, worn out by his job and hostile to all immigrants. There is no communication between the two. Alain refuses to speak Creole, Carl insults him by calling him a "négropolitain", i.e. black and French, refusing his origins. The day one of their white colleagues shoots himself in the head, the tension between the colleagues dissolves…
