Louisette is 81. Born in Tunisia in an Italian family, she arrived in France with her parents at the age of 14.
She worked at a variety of jobs until she developed a health problem that made it impossible for her to stand. Today, Louisette is in a wheelchair and lives alone. Her apartment is on the 1st floor, but she can’t get out without help. Alone in her flat she feels isolated, like a prisoner.
She only gets a chance to go outside once in a while, when volunteers from a local collective come by.
