But Jimmy is also a nervous young gypsy in search of ideal and plagued by doubts, who lives in his loosely truck fitted a bed, not far from his family of caravans : his mother and "sister love" married without love. His conversion to Pentecostalism, a very assertive and fundamental branch in Protestantism led him to question himself on his two passions : boxing and Sonia. Indeed, Pentecostals believe that to become a better man, they must renounce to violence and desire.
