Élodie and Marie are two teenagers facing the lack of opportunities offered by the housing crisis. They come up with an extreme solution: empty the apartments unjustly occupied by “the old people” who are, in their eyes, responsible for the current social imbalance.

They will fill the apartments with teenagers who will work together as a community looking for a better independent life. While putting their plan into action, however, they discover that behind their cold calculations regarding the elderly, there are human beings who are just as lost and forgotten by society as they are. A situation and realization that brings them all closer together.
