"Mues" est un film sur un terrain en transformation. Un terrain à la périphérie de la ville, espace délaissé pendant des années, un interstice urbain. C'est l'histoire d'un entre-deux, de ceux qui parcourent ce terrain, qui le traversent, qui l'ont habité et qui imaginent son avenir.
MUES is a film of many shadows and only few but glaring lights. It follows the transformation of an intimate place in the outskirts of Paris, home to immigrants and myths, into a prestigious real estate project. The journey of the building is mirrored in a hurtful switch from 16mm footage to a computer simulation. While mastering the risk to get lost in the jungle of voices passing the troubled spot that is a Parisian banlieue today, Daniel Nehm captures an “image juste” of contemporary transformation via the act of cleansing, ignoring and the destruction of dreams.
