It's very difficult to give/translate such a title when you don't know the story/...

Thank you very much for your answer. It's true that without the story it may be quite difficult. You're the closest to the content of the story which is about two social outcasts, a girl and a boy. I have also thought of "tourné boulé" or "déboussolé" which hint at this idea of being desperate and without any references. VG
