Jimmy Rivière is passionate about Muay Thai. He seeks a possible life where he could reconcile his faith and his love for Sonia, a young Muslim girl, also in love with him. But Jimmy is also a nervous young gypsy in search of ideal and plagued by doubts, who lives in his loosely truck fitted a bed, not far from his family of caravans : his mother and "sister love" married without love. His conversion to Pentecostalism, a very assertive and fundamental branch in Protestantism led him to question himself on his two passions : boxing and Sonia. Indeed, Pentecostals believe that to become a better man, they must renounce to violence and desire. Under pressure from the community, Jimmy applies but is struggling to put in agreement his will and acts. Gina, his boxing coach keeps reminding him that he would fine battles to fight and tries to make him back to his sporting passion.
