Marseille, an open city with a third of housing in closed residences, surrounded by barriers or walls.
Sarah lives on the edge of Coin Joli, a suburban neighborhood that used to be free to cross, but whose streets have been progressively blocked.

Immersion in this little part of the city that draws another Marseille, that of tomorrow, in an unstable balance between individual aspirations, private property and the desire for a city open and common to all.
