Trailer Synopsis Cast

Paris, at night. This is where Jeni, Wenceslas, Christine, Pascal and the others live. Homeless, they haunt the streets and bridges, and corridors of the metro; on the edge of a world where society no longer offers protection. They face us and they talk.

Good movie but grossly overrated

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Claus Drexel's film is an audacious, vivid, true to the core film about the phantoms of our streets, here in Paris : the homeless people. Mainly shot at night - beautifully shot - the film follows a few strong homeless characters, where they live. They are shot in long fixed shots to let them speak about their everyday silently heroic lives, their hopes and their points of view about Life. This film is deeply moving. It changes the way you look at people and at such unfortunate lives held by some people who struggle harder than most of us. Thank you Claus for your work. Your film is a lesson of humanity. It is a must-see as it is very generously made to care about and listen to the homeless. Do not miss it when it runs in a theater nearby.
