SYNOPSIS

 

EN

 

All cities have historic districts, however, they are also confronted with the intense development brought by massive shopping malls built on their outskirts. A few shopkeepers in the city of Bastia, located on Corsica, seem bound to disappear yet resist and express their feelings, enthusiasm and concerns about a society that is losing its bearings.

Si toutes les villes possèdent un centre historique attestant de leur typicité, elles sont également confrontées à l’essor massif des vastes centres commerciaux érigés en périphérie, qui entraînent de facto un déplacement de population autour de ces nouvelles infrastructures. À partir de l’observation d’une ville qui se métamorphose au rythme des changements sociétaux, l’objectif est centré sur les petits commerçants de la ville de Bastia, dont la disparition est inéluctable dans une économie globalisée.
