Résumé

Les mineurs du Pas-de-Calais se sont retrouvés dans la même situation à la fermeture des derniers puits de charbon : chômage, abandon, incertitude. Dans cette petite cité de Billy Montigny, le terril et les corons marquent l'histoire récente et encore douloureuse de cette région. Mais ici, un petit groupe d'hommes a réussi à recréer une nouvelle dynamique : grâce aux jardins ouvriers, le travail et la solidarité ont pris le pas sur le désœuvrement. Depuis six ans, ils se retrouvent pour cultiver un petit morceau de terre, la leur, quelle que soit leur origine. Aujourd'hui menacé par un projet autoroutier, cet espace devient la représentation d'un combat, celui du droit à exister.

In a little town of the coal mines that were shut, at the end of a path stands an small city. At the end of the small city stands a terri. The setting reminds the county's history. Mining village, mining cottage. The people of this city are unemployed or precarious workers. They are directly affected by the desertion of the area. Six years ago, a small group of the villagers have decided to level off the waste ground at the end of the path to create gardens. They have found financial helps and a little attention. Then everything has changed. Some of them, who were never going out of their home, have started to cultivate the soil. Some others are happy to work again and follow trainings... a group is born with a new social life made of parties and barbecues. Of course, it's not as ideal as it looks. Most of them live in difficult conditions, but thanks to the gardens, they have new states of mind. Unfortunately, in a few months, a road will be built and it will cross the gardens of Cité 10. The owner of the ground, Soginorpa, wants to move the gardens, but the gardeners are worried. It will never be the same again. The new harvest may be the last. Are the gardeners already resigned to their fate? How do they see the future
