Le Clémenceau is a tobacconist's and PMU frequented by a popular clientele in Saint Raphaël. There are customers who are just passing through, and regulars who come to fill their loneliness. Many of them have been hurt by life, and see the bar as an anchor for their family. Some live on the streets, others have been in psychiatric hospitals, and most suffer from addiction. Conversations between customers and confidences follow one another as the days go by.
