OmdU Trailer

Paris, Belleville: one last café musette. Charming, enchanting, idiosyncratic, like the six characters whose paths cross here. Real poetry and popular chanson. Unbending, irrepressible, timeless. French history that defies and endures. On the basis of a street corner, the film portrays a neighbourhood that has become a home to the foreigner. Marked by the migrations of the last centuries, by craftsmanship and revolt, Belleville sings us its songs of love and struggle. Photography in black and white. Images like a chanson.
