A man is forced to go on welfare after losing his job. He moves to an area where rents are more affordable, and he discovers a world he did not know existed, a world he does not understand. He films and tape-records bits of reality. Little by little, the universe he initially found so strange becomes an obsession, a source of constant fear. Without realizing it, he will gradually model the behaviors exhibited by his neighbours. He will eventually be confined to a mental institution.

Un homme perd son emploi et se voit dans l'obligation de demander de l'aide sociale. Il déménage dans un quartier où les loyers sont à la mesure de ses moyens et y découvre un monde dont il ne soupçonnait pas l'existence. Il n'arrive pas à comprendre. Il filme et enregistre des bribes de cette réalité qui l'entoure. Graduellement, il calque sans s'en rendre compte les comportements de ses voisins. Au milieu de l'hiver, il est interné dans une clinique psychiatrique.
