The writer Louis Gardel remembers his youth in Algeria. In 1955, Louis is 15 years old and lives with his grandmother Zoé. Zoé is friend with president Steiger, leader of the French settlers but also with the old Arab Bouarab. One night looking at the Bay of Algiers, Louis is convinced that the world in which he has grown will disappear. The first events of the War of Independence have begun. The young boys and young girls have a good time at the seaside: swimming, dancing, flirting. But, little by little, the war becomes part of their daily life.

Jobless after their boss fled, workers from a textile factory plan on blowing up everything if the government refuse to help them.

Rémi Francois, también conocido como Jack Palmer, un detective privado parisino que cree que es tan irresistible a las mujeres como experto en su trabajo, finalmente acepta el trabajo que le da un notario de provincias: encontrar a Ange Leoni, una chica de Córcega que ha heredado una pequeña suma de dinero, pero se ha desvanecido en el aire. Esto parece una minucia para Jack Palmer, acostumbrado a misiones infinitamente más delicadas. Pero tan pronto como llega a la llamada “Isla de la Belleza” (Córcega), la minucia se convierte en una maldición de pesadilla. Vigilado por desconocidos a través de binoculares mientras investiga el caso, Palmer es frustrado por las pocas ganas de hablar de los lugareños, infinitas rondas de bebida en la taberna local, separatistas que lo secuestran, policías que lo esposan por error, un coche que explota en mil pedazos, y la misteriosa Ange Leoni, que concierta citas secretas con él pero nunca aparece.

After fifteen years of absence, a man returns to his family. Five-year-old Aurelie watches the stranger arrive and develops an immediate affinity with him.

Naturally, the two girls bear the brunt of the impact. The film is an homage to the distant and primitive world of childhood, which shapes each of us.
