A love story like a child's game: the bravery of warrior astride a buffalo, fighting against ever-cruel adults.

Romain and Sabah, two nine-year-olds who live in the same public housing estate, have built imaginary worlds for themselves to escape reality, their parents' fears and suspicions about the neighbors, foreigners and their differences. They love each other, and that's all there is to it. They'd like to stay together forever, but their parents have decided otherwise.
