"For you, I could climb Everest!" Samy would have been better off keeping quiet that day... Especially since Nadia doesn't believe much in his fine words. And yet, out of love for her, Samy leaves his council estate and sets off to climb the legendary 8,848 meters that make Everest the Roof of the World. A departure that thrills his friends, then the entire 9-3, and soon the whole of France is following with emotion the exploits of this ordinary young guy, but in love. The key is a message of hope: it's up to everyone to invent their own future, since everything is possible.
