A town in the greater Parisian suburbs, its housing estates, its rose and vegetable greenhouses, its inhabitants. It is winter and a Roma camp has been set up. While most of the local residents are outraged and demand the expulsion of these new neighbors, a few women will try to help them live on the land they occupy.
