In an evicted building in the City of Lights, three men, Yi-En from China, Junior from Congo and Hamzah, of Palestinian origin, try to turn their squatted apartment into a home. The trio shares everything, from scarce belongings and jokes about the future to memories of the past. In this lively milieu, time, space and personal histories overlap, offering a political allegory on displacement and the meaning of home.
