Following the announcement to renovate the area which will lead to higher renst, the inhabitants of Barlin city No5, in the Pas-de-Calais, organise the last revolt of the mining territory.

The inhabitants play their own role in their current situation which is about to divide the community. Far from social observation, it is much more about negotiating reality through the camera,
recounting the last possible escapement and replaying rituals and protective practices of a real tribe.
In that way, even if incongruities abound, it can be called an ethnographic test, a desire to
raise a second memory.
