His true sources of joy are spending time with his girlfriend Marie and riding his motorcycle with his gang of chronically unemployed friends. When Kader, a handsome Arabian stranger, moves to town and tries to seduce Marie, she rejects his advances, convinced of what will happen if Freddy finds out. When Freddy does, he and his friends take out their jealousy in a way that even Marie could not have projected.
