Les Habitants (The Inhabitants)

Synopsis

A commuter town in the suburbs of Paris, with its housing developments inspired by the American model, its rose and vegetable greenhouses, its inhabitants. It's winter and a camp of roma people has settled in town. While the majority of the neighbours are displeased and demand that the newcomers be expelled, a few women are trying to help them inhabit the land they occupy.
