Allons enfants de l'apathie

The RMI (Minimum income for insertion) has just celebrated its tenth birthday. Should we rejoice at this anniversary or not ? This film is a report on the good sides and the perverse effects of this social system. It is an "unclassifiable" film, i.e. far from the media patterns that present precarious situations as voyeurism and misery. By interviewing seven recipients of this allowance, it is interesting to find out their opinion about their personal situation and the RMI in general. Moreover, these people continue to be active and to be involved in associations or in carrying out personal projects. This allows them, at their own pace, to be always active in our society and to provide, into the bargain, a note of optimism and good humour to the film.
