Fourteen years after their ‘‘Portrait of a Generation’’ project, filmmakers JR and Ladj Ly return to Clichy-Montfermeil. The film follows the creation of a transgressive mural painting: a very singular picture of local residents who have seen their urban utopia become dilapidated to such an extent that it became the epicenter of the popular unrest that gripped France in 2005.

JR made headlines across the world with a huge installation on the US-Mexico border depicting a Mexican toddler peering over the wall. The first stones were thrown right in front of a large photo mural JR had made of his friend Ladj Ly holding a camera as if it were a gun.
