In the Parisian suburbs, a group of adolescents wander, looking for a rave party. The city’s peripheral architecture goes by like the setting of a retro futuristic adventure gone wrong; the governmental utopia of the housing estates, the laminated dream of the Euro Disney Park, the playgrounds and sports areas now used as spaces for getting high. The Parisian suburbs are thus revealed like the theatre of a failed political project, which has only intensified the differences between the deprived neighbourhoods and the city centre. However, the youth filmed by Manon Vila is not defeated.

В промышленном городе Кавасаки, на углу улицы, где раньше жили мои дедушка и бабушка, собираются ставочники на кейрин — велогонки, которые развились в послевоенное время. Они встречаются в крошечном баре, чтобы выпить, поговорить и сделать ставки на велодроме неподалеку. Большинство из них — пожилые люди, которые с трудом зарабатывают на жизнь; они прожили в этом городе всю жизнь. Этот откровенный фильм, снятый на статичную камеру, дает возможность высказаться пожилым людям, которые остались за бортом японской экономики.
