On the edge of Bordeaux, in an area that is being redeveloped, a fast food van appears every day on a parking lot in the middle of the building site. It serves regular customers of labourers and prostitutes who hang around killing time without seeming preoccupied by the transformation of their surroundings. Babette, Dédé and Jacky, shipwrecked characters who are simultaneously melodramatic and sincere, congregate here every day as the construction progresses. By following their three meandering destinies, the film observes the ephemeral community that they have become in this in-between place, moments of respite that they manage to snatch from their own realities.

Cozzano, a village in the Corsican mountains gets ready for the municipal elections. Its 250 inhabitants will have to choose between the current mayor, Jean-Jacques Ciccoloni, the elected representative for 30 years and the UMP activist native of the village. In Cozzano, every inhabitant is involved heart and soul in politics: it is the middle of their life and concerns. In this crucial moment when the village is cut in two, passions and hatreds revealed that the stake in the vote is not where we wait for it.
