Plot
L'Envol, a day center for homeless women in Anzin, France, closes its doors: only 4% of the women who've been there have been reintegrated, which the city council considers to be insufficient. The civil workers decide to protest against these measures through civil disobedience and the secret installment of a therapeutic workshop and a sleeping hall in a squatter's home...
