My name is Zouhair, I am a director and I grew up in a housing project. One day, at the screening of one of my films, a director told me… “I don’t really like films about housing projects; it’s always the same thing. But in your film, there is something that struck me: I saw people having fun and laughing…”.
“Go make yourself laugh!”; beyond journalistic clichés and social a priori, a journey to the suburbs of Mulhouse, to encounter laughter and the joy of living.
