Code Unknown

A young farm boy, Jean, seeks escape from his troubled relationship with his father and runs to Paris to reunite with his brother, Georges, who is away fighting in Kosovo. In a moment of frustration, Jean tosses a bag of half-eaten pastries at a beggar, Amadou, a young Franco-African man. Amadou scolds Jean, and the police arrive, arresting Amadou and deporting the beggar. This incident sets off a chain reaction that affects the lives of Jean, Georges, and Anne, Georges' girlfriend, as they navigate the consequences of that one moment.
