An out of the ordinary visit to a big empty apartment. Empty or full? A family may have lived there, or will live there. A young woman may escape from there… Former old people maybe never lever… The decoration itself tells a strange story of passing time…

Agnès Varda finds it difficult to define this work. She made the film in the former St Louis hospice in Avignon, at a time when it was hosting the exhibition Le Vivant et l'artificiel in 1984. Her narrative was created in relation to the feelings she had when faced with this particular space.
