“People are quite aware that some neighborhoods are gloomy and others pleasant.
But they generally simply assume that elegant streets cause a feeling of satisfaction
and that poor streets are depressing, and let it go at that.”
Guy Debord

Building up our narration is not just collecting datas, is about opening a profound research, inducing viewers to develop a standpoint against shallowness of our time, and to search through the complexity of what is hidden.
