In a small city in Kabylia, a housing estate like many others in Algeria today: going to rack and ruin, abandoned by God and especially the authorities. The young people decided to take things in hand and mobilize the residents to get the sidewalks and streets repaired, plant trees, paint the walls: in other words, to live. At the same time they made this film their own. The director entrusted the camera to her nephew who regularly sent her news of the estate and the shooting. So this film is a chronicle, seen from the inside, of these ordinary days. A virtually intimate chronicle, shaken by the explosion of violence: in spring 2001, the estate was engulfed in the riots which spread across Kabylia and eastern Algeria.
