An exploration of the current state of some significant modernist and governmental buildings in Abidjan, the largest and most important city of Ivory Coast. As an architectural tour as well as a tribute to the remarkable buildings of the 60s, 70s and 80s, the film pays special attention to users and visitors, to their gestures and ways of informally appropriating the spaces.
