Belleville nous verra toujours danser

At the foot of Belleville Park, nestled among café terraces and art galleries, “La Perm’” stands its ground against the neighborhood’s transformation. Solo, Mathieu, Kany, Walter, and the others gather there after their day’s work. Some come to shelter from the rain; others are fleeing police checkpoints. They talk loudly, debate, get into arguments, and dream big.

In this refuge, the group paints a portrait of itself, amid doubts and bursts of laughter, in a France that prefers to watch them from afar.
