The video discusses the living conditions of Ivan and Victoire, who reside in extremely small apartments in Paris. Ivan, a night security guard, lives in a 73 square foot apartment without a lease, paying over €370 monthly. Despite working two jobs, he cannot find better housing due to low wages and lack of family support. Victoire, originally from Madagascar, lives in an 80 square foot space provided by her former employers. She faces eviction threats and spends most of her time outside.
