Il vole de l'argent à Gabrielle et l'humilie tant qu'elle ne veut finalement plus le voir. Au LEP, il frappe le conseiller d'éducation. En retour, son père, excédé, le flanque à la porte. Gabrielle refuse de l'héberger. Les familles des copains n'ont que faire de lui. Gilles est donc à la rue, comme un chien errant. Et semant le désordre, il devient vite la bête à abattre. C'est Gabrielle, finalement, qui le sauve. Ils s'enfuient ensemble, trouvent refuge à la campagne, dans une grange abandonnée. Et là, ils apprennent à s'aimer.
