Audio documentary. A great development project is taking place near ENS Louis-Lumière in Saint-Denis. The constant construction noise is engulfing the entire neighbourhood. Saint-Denis has been scheduled to host the Olympic Village in 2024.

Concrete Fissures focuses on how soundscapes can change as a result of capitalist gentrification.
