There's Abdel, whose quiet life is turned upside down by the arrival of his extrovert cousin, whom he takes in for the summer; Fatima, who longs for a more stable existence and is trying to get away from her bad company; Toussaint, who goes fishing and finds a bottle washed up with a message inside.Then there's Naïma, Maya, Ayoub and the others.There's a remote-controlled car, a pastel castle lining the freeway, electric cicadas, a monolith and very powerful rays. A blend of fiction and documentary, Les Rayons Gamma is a comedy-drama filmed with young people from Montreal's Saint-Michel district.
