What do Patricia, Badou, François, Dingo and P'tit Jeannot have in common? They live in the Paris suburbs, they are young, they are on the verge of breaking away from school, from the working world or from the Army. Their meeting place is "La Javanaise", a bar held by no-nonsense Janine and her lighter husband Lucien. There they mix with their idol, Daniel, also known as Frankie Mégalo, a film projectionist and a rocker without a band. Most of the efforts of these born idlers will consist in finding a band and a venue for Frankie to perform and in laying hands on cash by means fair or foul to go to the Southern sun.

Simone is an isolated old lady, whose daily life is punctuated by a strange pile of rubbish, so imposing in her small apartment that it prevents her from living normally. One day, Simone dares to touch it.

Following his feature film Animal Macula, Sylvain L’Espérance explores with renewed originality the archives of world cinema, often far removed from the obvious landmarks of canon cinephilia. This time, his focus is on the presence of human beings on the move in films. With meticulousness, poetry, and symbolism, this work arranges this similar yet heterogeneous material to form a kind of relay race through eras, countries, and environments. In this way, these individual movements follow one another, respond to one another, or merge, tracing the complex trajectory of an imagined community travelling through a dreamlike, timeless memory. A solitary means of transport and a leisurely stroll, walking is also a vehicle for a common affirmation, collective action, solidarity, and even popular uprising.
