Directing
No description available.
Murphy, a young black girl of Congolese descent, suffers from depression. Twenty years old, she cannot find the strength to confront her mother and confess her unhappiness. Faced with a family that is particularly religious and attached to appearances, Murphy has no other choice for survival than to hide in her bed.
Rushing from the chaos of her student job, up the never-ending staircase of her apartment building, Danielle, a West African-French student, calculates that she has enough time to change from her work clothes before her final sociology exam in 20 minutes. Her under-maintained shoebox apartment has other plans. Yanis, a young concierge, comes to help and tries to fix the ancient door lock that has trapped her. As time trickles past, the two strangers find an unexpected solidarity, with only a door to separate them.
