Written by Emma Benestan and Nour Ben Salem, the story follows in the footsteps of Az, an oyster-farmworker in Sète who’s just been dumped by his girlfriend Jessica -  the star of a local soap opera set in the legal world - having only just asked her to marry him. For Az, it’s the end of the world. Desperate, he follows the advice of his childhood friend Lila and sets about choreographing a furious dance in order to reclaim her heart…
