Summary :
Everything changes, but the sound of the mines still remains. Close to Lens, the people of Meurchin open their doors, think and talk about the future. A collective portrait at the beginning of the 21st Century, in France.

You cross the town entering to the houses of the main street from the suburb to the center and arriving to the river –the end- . Following this path, you will realise that you are entering first into the poorest houses and evoluting to the richest ones passing trough some public places as well. A non-stop take were we can see people who lives in the house and listen their opinion about the future in Meurchin.

The documentary has been shot with a new look for documentaries and with an accurate work of the voices to remark the character of the people. Meurchin is an specific place and at the same time it could be anywhere.
