Under the forced isolation in 2020, Dina Karaman began to keep a video diary, filming from the window of her apartment in St. Petersburg. The deserted urban landscape opening up to the eyes, which seemed to her an eerie dream, pushed Dina to find out what other people dream about while going through the lockdown. Recordings of people recounting their dreams and audio notes contributed by strangers are woven in this piece into a motley web of fears, memories, and hopes.

Alice Diop returns to the council estate where she grew up, la Rose-des-Vents, to paint a portrait of the inhabitants of her old building. Outpourings in the intimacy of apartments, the stairwell where different cultures meet, and the outside areas, veritable playgrounds, together form the rich heritage of this neighbourhood. A counterpoint to the usual media coverage.

It is the director's second documentary of "my village" series since she got involved with the "Folk Memory Project". She returned to her hometown to shoot footage, recording the realities she encountered in her search for memories.
