Jazz (At Rock Bottom)

"When we have almost nothing left we cling to our dignity and the little we have left!"

Mehdi is a 25-year-old musician struggling to get by. He doesn't have much in life, apart from his instrument and his suitcase. He works odd jobs and plays gigs with his best friend Jack. He's constantly fighting to live in a society that tolerates nothing and nobody.

"Du jazz dans le ravin"is a comedy-drama based on the absurd, which tends to show and denounce the inequalities and difficulties that some people can encounter in a society and in a time not so far from our own.
