Marcel Marx (*André Wilms*), a Bohemian artist, now lives an ordered life as a shoe shiner in Le Havre. While his wife (*Kati Outinen*) becomes seriously ill and needs to go to the hospital, Marx meets Idrissa, an the adolescent from Africa who stowed away in a shipping container and is now being sought by the police (*Jean-Pierre Darroussin* is excellent as the unfriendly detective). Aided by all his friends in the neighborhood, the old man decides to help Idrissa get to London, were his mother has found asylum.
