Black would-be sculptor Bébé Lopez languishes in Marseilles prison after having been falsely accused of rape and arrested by a racist policeman. His girlfriend, Clim, has just discovered that she is pregnant. Her parents, Marianne (Ariane Ascaride) and Joël (Jean-Pierre Darrousin), are pleased, as is Bébé's father, Franck (Gérard Meylan), and together they decide to find the rape victim and persuade her to retract her statement. The woman in question, Madame Radic, has now fled to Sarajevo, and so Marianne sets off to track her down.
