In 2025, one in ten people in France struggle to put food on the table every day. Food aid has become a common sight. Despite all its humanity, it is overwhelmed by the phenomenon. Faced with this situation, a collective of associations in Montpellier has created a communal food bank. Over the course of a year, the film follows the first steps towards a social security system for food. 400 people contribute according to their means and all receive the same amount to feed themselves healthily. Above all, they are taking back control of their lives. Through four sensitive portraits, the film offers a reflection on the right to food.
