Dirty Kid

Wilfried is born on the wrong side of life. His mother, too young and too lost, abandons him. He is placed in a loving foster family. At fifteen, his world is football. He grew up with the ball at his feet in a training center. But anger grows in him. Wilfried does not know where he comes from or who he is. One day his rage explodes; he hits a player. Definitive exclusion. Back to square one. He finds the towers of his city, and sinks into delinquency. It was there that he met Nina, an educator from the Judicial Protection of Youth. For her, every day is a race against time; we have to get these teenagers out of the way. With Wilfried, a special bond is forged. With a hyper-realistic pen, Mathieu Palain signs a hard-hitting novel. He immerses us in the daily life of these anonymous heroes and tells with empathy a story of today, true, urban, overwhelmingly human.
