It´s been several years since an inner city neighborhood was deserted by its inhabitants. And yet, some people have decided to stay--out of choice rather than necessity--because they were either born, or raised there. Amongst them is Francis, a conscientious factory worker who continues to repair the machine that he has worked on all his life; Samir, his son, who returns after a long absence; Maria, the neighbor, and her son José, who is convinced his father is Gary Cooper and waits for him on the street every day.
