Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Back on the parisian riots of march 2006. By crossing the points of view between the individual, the crowd, the mass, this film tries to draw from the TV coverage some more nuanced, more troubled perception. "Milling around" projects us in the center of the action by keeping us strangly remote at the same time.
