In Troumaron, on the outskirts of Port-Louis, capital of Mauritius, life has stopped. The factory is shut down. The unemployed men and women look out at life from behind fraying curtains. The boys rule the streets and the girls try to avoid their gaze. Four of these young people, Sad, Eve, Savita and Clélio describe their days and nights, their struggle to survive and their worry about the future. They observe the world through unblinkered eyes, without any illusions.
