Nigel, 22, is an engineering student in Belfort (France). Boris, 17, is a high school student in the suburbs of Paris and lives with his mother. Alexandre, 29, is a French-Italian translator in Paris. Lucas, 19, is kitchen porter in Bordeaux. What do they have in common? They are all abstinent pedophiles, meaning they do not act on their desires. Alongside Latifa Bennari, the only French activist who has been working for years on the prevention of paedophilia, this film focuses on the experience of abstinent paedophiles who don't act on their desires and are asking for help or other forms of support, with one main question in mind. Can paedophilia be cured ? Is it possible to reduce the harm done by paedophilia in society ?
