Half of one piece in a triptych on the housing projects (or cités) in and around Toulouse, France. These groupings of large housing blocks were constructed in the decades following WWII on the communist model: egalitarian, communal constructions that allowed the government to more quickly raze the slums that sprang up after the war. These short documentaries focus on the lives of the inhabitants in neighborhoods that are plagued by unemployment, wealth disparities compared with other parts of the city, and - according to the government - increasing crime and insecurity due to the large population of foreigners. Bagatelle (nicknamed "Baghdad") is made up of 57% public housing, has 36% unemployment, and a population of 19% foreign and 36% low income. La moitié d'un court-métrage dans un triptyque sur les ZUS dans et autour de Toulouse.
