Rue des Partants

The main subject of "La Rue des partants" is neither more nor less than the city itself. The city as can be seen almost anywhere in the world, overpopulated, constantly composing and recomposing its landscape. Paris is one of those cities with its history of movement. This film takes interest in the changes to be found in the urban fabric and how the inhabitants relate to their appartments, their buildings, their streets, their neighbourhood, their town... the sense that they bring to the words "to live in a place". In such situations, people tend to become philosophical. It is especially necessary to listen to this thinking, this utopia-reality of the city which only architects and town planners seem to have the right to reflect upon.
