Immersed in a world of emotions and sensations, the film follows a couple chatting in a car in an ordinary French suburb. Suddenly, two police officers interrupt them and arrest one of the protagonists to carry out a body search. Special effects take the viewer inside the mind of the arrested protagonist to experience what it feels like to be deprived of control of one’s own body. “When the police stop and search us, we are no longer subjects but dangerous objects,” the artist has said.

Mohamed Bourouissa (b. 1978, Algeria) often deals with social issues and migrants’ experiences in his video and photographic works. He is considered one of the most important French artists of his generation.
