Two simple women find themselves in the throes of housing problems. One of them lives in a shack where the beams are rotten with mold, the ceiling is only held up by scaffolding, but the house has not been declared unsanitary. She fights to be moved out of this dangerous habitat.
On the other side of the street, it is a completely different neighborhood. The walls of the buildings are four times as thick as bricks, a cozy courtyard, it is always pleasantly warm inside. But it is precisely these buildings that must be demolished. One of the residents of the neighborhood does not agree to leave this place, she is determined to fight to the end to defend her building.
The film shows that in today's urban planning policy, interest increasingly takes precedence over logic and what is right.
