A woman is all alone, in a nearly empty apartment. They are going to evict her, she knows it. She will soon be living on the streets with no place to go.

All alone, a woman sits unmoving in a wheelchair in a nearly empty apartment. No curtains on the windows, no television, no couch. She is waiting to be kicked to the curb. They're going to evict her, and she knows it. Soon she'll be living on the streets with no place to go. Who is this woman and how did she get here? Once, she had a husband and two children, Luis and Rodrigue. She left her husband when he became violent; today her children are in prison for drug trafficking. Bertrand Leclair gives us a poignant portrait of how drastically a life can change from one day to the next in The Hostile City.
