Released from judicial care, Thierry Chartier, 18, is given a chance to start over again.  He returns to Heuzecourt, a small village in Northern France inhabited by farm workers and retired miners.  It is here that his paternal grandmother lives.  Thierry earns a living by helping out in the fields and lending a hand to his grandmother on her farm.  But after an accident in which someone is killed, he is arrested and given a seven year suspended prison sentence.  Twice condemned, but of crimes of which he is blameless, will Thierry ever be allowed to live the life of an innocent man...?
