The Rascals are 15 to 25 years old and live in a urban environment. Their lives, the people they meet and the things they do are at the center of each episode. Each Rascals story is short, anecdotic and funny. Sometimes nothing happens. The themes and subjects that can lend themselves to a Rascals episode are as unlimited as urban life itself. The suburbs where they live could be on the outskirts of London, Amsterdam, New York or Paris. Sometimes reflecting conflictual situations between different social groups through stereotypes, an episode may be so ugly that it becomes funny. Every one of them is an instant illustration of urban cohabitation. Be it at home, at public places, on the urban transportation system, or in the street, which is definitely the Lascars' favorite hangout, they mingle and they meet. They can be friendly and they can be violent, or be so funny that it hurts, because that's the way their lives are. The Rascals are not a "gang." There is a limitless number of them, and nothing special characterizes them. They're just kids from the city, as varied as they come.
