Sinopsis
“We” narrates the encounters that the filmmaker experiences on a railway line that crosses Paris and its suburbs from north to south. You will meet a cleaning lady, a metal scrap dealer, a writer, a nurse and a hunter. The people she meets on her journey form a whole and, possibly, a "we".
