In France, thousands of people work for subcontractors in the nuclear industry. Many of them travel from one nuclear power plant to another to carry out renovation work wherever it is needed. They live in caravans, scattered around the power plants, always ready to move on. The pay is good and attracts many young people, amongst whom are Marie-Lou, Florian, Jérôme and Vincent. At different parking lots in front of nuclear power plants, they share the same lonely and harsh reality of life to which this job inevitably leads them. And they dream of life afterwards: of their own property, of the future of their own children... Saving every penny, they drive on and on. From nuclear power plant to nuclear power plant. From premium wage to premium wage. From millisievert to millisievert.
