Spoilers ahead
In Quebec, the Hipponomes are a family of refugees from Kabylia, led by the grandmother, Méni. The clan centers on Méni’s grandchildren—Étéocle, Polynèice, Ismène, and Antigone—whose parents were killed before the family fled their village. While Antigone shines in school with straight A’s, Polynèice slides into a life of crime as part of the street gang known as the Habibis. One ordinary day, as Étéocle and Polynèice are out with friends playing jacks, police intervene. A gunshot shatters the moment and Étéocle is killed, while Polynèice is arrested for assaulting an officer in the aftermath.
