Place de la République, 45 ans plus tard

In 1972, Louis Malle adopted the direct cinema approach to film passers-by in the Place de la République in Paris, taking stock of their daily lives... Forty-five years later, as a tribute to Louis Malle, young director Hafid Aboulahyane repeats the experience in his own way, revealing the profound changes that have taken place since then. Worlds open up, respond to each other and collide, through a mosaic of characters blending their personal histories with that of this emblematic place.
