Amin (Moustapha Mbengue) came from Senegal nine years ago to work in France, leaving behind his wife Aïsha (Mareme N’Diaye) and their three children. His work is his life, his friends the men who live with him in the social home. Aïsha sees her husband only once or twice a year, for a week or two, sometimes a month. She accepts this situation as a necessity: the money that Amin sends to Senegal provides for several people, though she yearns for the whole family to be together in France. One day, while remodeling a house, Amin meets divorcee Gabrielle (Emmanuelle Devos) and, at first, Amin is reserved. She, too, is estranged from her family, and struggling to maintain a connection with her daughter, and a tentative relationship begins between them.
