Vincent, still of tender age, has already tattooed most of his body and hoarsened his voice with his post-hardcore band – his way of venting his frustrations and desires. Ever since his mother died, he shares his time between Porte de Clignancourt and Bastille, between a piercer job he is unhappy with and his fishmonger father, Hervé, who is trying to start a new life with a younger woman named Julia. Vincent is initially appalled by the woman, with whom his father has ‘betrayed’ his mother, but the more they get to know each other, the more he becomes intrigued by the beautiful and empathetic woman. Unlike his father, she shows interest in him, even attending one of his gigs. What starts out as a potential way of reconciling with his father soon implodes.

Two brothers decide to revive what still unites them, one last time.

It's birthday time. Drifting through the dark night, Vincent and Hervé are looking for something to do. You only turn 25 once.

Zack has the freshness of his twenty-four years and the seriousness of his tattoos climbing up to the top of his neck. To prove his commitment to the screamo band that just recruited him as their singer, Zack has to get their logo tattooed. But his tattoo artist mentor refuses to give him credit again. He will have to find the money somewhere.
