A story of a house in West-Jerusalem, abandoned by its owners: a Palestinian doctor; a family of Jewish-Algerian immigrants; an Israeli economist who transform it into a villa hiring Palestinian workers. Every episode correspond to a different step of the construction. “He achieves one of the most beautiful things a camera can register ‘live’, as it were; people who look at the same thing but see different things.”(Libération, 1er mars 1982)
