Despite housing being a fundamental human right, this powerful documentary exposes how it remains out of reach for hundreds of thousands of people in France, the third-largest economy in Europe. More than 300,000 people are currently living without a home, an alarming reality that stands in stark contrast to the country’s long-standing image as a welfare state. Rather than relying on statistics alone, the film brings this crisis into focus through a deeply human story.

At the heart of the film is Michel, a former soldier who served his country for years. When the state needed him, he fulfilled his duty; yet in his most vulnerable moment, he was left behind. Michel’s story reflects the silent reality of thousands who have been pushed to the margins of the system. By framing the housing crisis not as an individual failure but as a collective responsibility, the documentary invites viewers to reconsider notions of loyalty, belonging, justic and to confront them through their own conscience.
