In the centre of Paris, a 16-year-old boy spends another night outside alone in the bitter cold. Although the French authorities are responsible to provide for minors, regardless of their nationality, he has been living on the streets for months, waiting for the hearing before the judge to prove his age. One day, a volunteer welcomes the boy to sleep on his sofa for a week. The next volunteer offers the boy a mattress to sleep on the floor and a good meal... Illegal acts or solidarity gestures ? How long will this civic commitment be viable?
