Camel grew up in a loving family in which he was very close to his father. But he died suddenly in a car accident and the young boy, then aged 13, took this terrible news very badly.

To try to alleviate his grief, Camel then begins to consume anxiolytics from the family pharmacy which he quickly mixes with alcohol. At school, he regularly uses cannabis and when his mother finds out, she decides to kick him out. The young man then lived from squat to squat and at the age of 17, he became addicted to cocaine. From his first intake, Camel becomes totally dependent and consumes very large quantities.
