A suburban city that aspired to be utopian, with colorful buildings scattered between three expressways, currently undergoing renovation, "La Grande Borne"; a week in the life of a real estate agent in Nièvre, from nature-loving hipsters to Nevers employees looking for housing near schools; the daily life of a few "year-round campers," neither homeless nor homeowners, but a cross between the two, rarely seen, rarely talked about. These three places, these three situations, each approached with the perspective it calls for, allow us to put into perspective and raise a few questions on this theme: how do we live together today?
