Lambert, a withdrawn middle-aged man, works the night shift at a Parisian petrol station. He has no friends, no family; his only companion is his bottle of rum. One night, a young Arab man, Bensoussan, enters his shop - and his life. This stranger also has no family, lives alone in a dingy room, and scrapes a living as a drug dealer. A friendship develops between the two solitary men - but this is brutally cut short when Bensoussan is killed in front of Lambert's eyes. Realising that his new friend was murdered by his drug dealing associates, Lambert sets out to avenge his death - assisted by Lola, a punk girl who knew Bensoussan briefly. By doing this, Lambert manages to come to terms with his own tragic past. (Cinemax)
