A playful portrait filmed in a kiosk in Paris. Printed press is in crisis, the game with the peculiar clientele of the business will be less fun than expected.
After realizing that her years in art school will not help her find a job, filmmaker Alexandra Pianelli agrees to help her mother in the lifelong family business: a small kiosk located in the frantic Victor Hugo Square, a wealthy area of Paris. Alexandra places her camera — or rather, her phone — and stands behind the counter to serve customers. The kiosk is a two-meter-wide microcosm that can produce claustrophobia and at the same time can be a reflection of the entire universe.
We observe a wide range of amazing characters that end up building an endearing human community. A captivating story, full of humor and warmth, that reminds us of the importance of personal relationships. At a historic time marked by individualism, loneliness and mistrust, it is liberating to remember the pleasure of talking to strangers and letting life surprise us.
