 Carl s life is reduced to two things: receiving blows and, despite everything, persists in carrying out a "normal" existence. Enlisted in the Army, he hopes to be able to flee this nobody s daily life, between a silent grandfather and Cadorette, a childhood friend with whom dialog seems impossible. One night, following a fight, Carl and Cadorette miss the last ferry to return home and decide to cross the river by any means... Filmed on the banks and the water of the St. Lawrence River, L air de rien (Nobody) carries a lucid glance on the loss of references and the drift of our time.
