Synopsis

In an HLM building, three tenants with very dissimilar life stories were about to see their paths intertwine. Felix, a disabled retiree living on the 13th floor; Ana, a single mother on the 6th floor, who was facing eviction; and Seydou, a passionate dancer, and one without any formal training, who resided on the 4th floor.

It was by way of the old building elevator, a dilapidated broken vehicle of transport, that their life became merged in its descent toward an inescapable tragic and infernal destiny.
