A 24 hour in the lives of five characters, none of whom fit into Geneva's postcard image as a city of privilege.

Momo, who has abandoned his studies to become a garbage collector in order to support his relatives in Algeria, but cannot bring himself to tell them the truth about his new life. And then there is Claire, a young Swiss woman, lost and erring in the night. Claire has lost control of her life, annihilated by drugs.
