In April 2018, the new Paris Courthouse, a 160-meter glass tower by architect Renzo Piano, opened at Porte de Clichy. For several years, this working-class neighborhood on the outskirts of Paris has been undergoing an urban metamorphosis. In the surrounding buildings, the inhabitants are living this transformation on a daily basis, between resignation, adaptation and aspirations. Through a back-and-forth game between intimate trajectories and the metamorphosis of the city, the film sketches moments in the lives of several of its inhabitants, drawing a portrait of a neighborhood at its turning point.
