Benestan, who makes his directorial debut with this work, tells the story of Az, who works for an oyster farmer in Sète. He knows oysters by heart and opens them by the hundreds. In one of them, Az decides to hide a ring to ask his girlfriend Jess to marry him.
This is a romantic comedy that talks about masculine fragility, following the style imposed by Howard Hawks at the beginning of the film industry, a director whose legacy has greatly influenced French cinema.

Music and dance are the main pillars of the story, in connection with the director’s Algerian origin, since in the soundtrack she introduces the so-called ‘hafla’ rhythm. And it is through dance that the characters free themselves and express themselves.
The problem of social classes in French society and Western society in general is also present in the film, that is to say, the feeling of those citizens who feel second-rate because they originate from the former colonies, who are not quite accepted, who detect that they are looked down on, who in their day-to-day work in the worst-paid jobs and who they live in the worst neighborhoods.
