An apartment building staircase connects the lives of the building's tenants.
15-year-old Rachel is in love with Hervé, a young student who does not live in the neighborhood. The staircase of his apartment building became their meeting place. Hidden between floors and corners, they become voyeurs with a unique view of the lives of neighbors. One night, Hervé asks her to go to Normandy with him. She agrees to go and finds herself alone in the night waiting on the stairs.
Soko's film debut. This 22 minute short film won four film festival awards, including the Golden Swann. Nine Meurisse (Rachel) won Best Actress at the Vendome and Cabourg Festivals for her role.
