Faced with the widening gap between citizens and power, and after an economic crisis that has seriously affected social cohesion, this film gives us an unprecedented glimpse of how citizens build a society from inside a parliament, a Citizens’ Palace, providing a pertinent reflection, often contradictory and complex, on the essence of democracy.
