Love Song for Tough Guys

Jeff (François Damiens) is a small-time crook in a port city who wants to be loved and to say so. He and his aging crew, including Neptune (Ramzy Bedia) and Jacky (Gustave Kervern), are used to settling things with their fists, and a younger gang has started moving in on their turf. Samuel Benchetrit stages the poetry and the theatre of these rough men with a plain, gentle hand.
