Ma 6.T va crack-er
Synopsis
Arco, malik and Mustapha are what’s called devils. Sixteen-year-olds. Not much parental support, failing grades at school. They spend their time hanging out together or working off excessive social pressures on other kids in their projects. Djeff, J.M., Pete and Hamouda are older. Between 20 and 26 and unemployed. They knock around the projects, their main poles of interest being girls and the clashes with nearby projects. The neighbohood’s seething tensions explode during an eagerly-awaited evening of hip-hop. In the night club parking lot, a shoot-out erupts between the older boys and youth from another projects, while at the same moment, the younger boys, refused entrance to the club, let off stem by setting fire to a car. The police step in. A cop opens fire. Malik falls dead. The local kids react. It’s a riot…
