Lyon. Twenty-year-old Antoine has made enemies of a gang of young thugs, to whom he owes money. Fed up with his scams and petty crimes, his mother and older brother decide to send Antoine to his father's place in Saint-Etienne. The two men haven't seen each other for several years. When he arrives, Antoine discovers that Vincent, his father, runs a bodybuilding gym, and that he's training intensively for a bodybuilding competition. The reunion between father and son, who are complete opposites, is difficult and tense.
