Summary
Despite his age, Slimane Beiji, a 60-year-old North African immigrant, continues to toil for a meagre wage at a shipyard in the southern French town of Sète.  It is work that exhausts him, physically and morally, and this merely adds to his sense that his life has been a total failure.  His dream is to open his own restaurant but he clearly hasn’t the means to do so.   Moved by the old man’s plight, his relatives, who have financial worries of their own, decide to work together to make his dream a reality...
