The video explores the integration of human shapes and animals into Parisian facades by urban artists, who have been transforming the city for over 20 years. These artists aim to impact the environment and people's lives with a playful spirit. A summer exhibition in Paris's multicultural 20th District brings this art indoors, allowing visitors to appreciate works they usually pass by.
