The main character is Serge from The Wild Reeds. The main character from that movie, Francois, is also in this movie. There doesn't really appear to be any relation to the first movie, though. There is mention that they were in school together, but they don't have any significant interaction, and Francois doesn't really serve a lot of purpose in the movie, and there is no reference to his being gay, which was of great importance to the character in the first movie.
Setting that aside, though it is puzzling, this is a movie about a young truck driver who takes on the dangerous work of transporting illegal drugs while also trying to connect with an old (or perhaps on-again, off-again) girlfriend. She is deciding where she wants to go next in her life. Her friend Said is desperate to illegally immigrate to Europe. It's a decent movie, though I'm just puzzled why it uses the two characters from The Wild Reeds but doesn't seem to reference any of the themes from that movie.
