Bricks

Bricks shows how the life of a simple commodity can be the mirror of a global crisis. During the housing bubble, real estate developers and construction businessmen were the « brick kings ». Bricks had turned into gold. But in 2007, the housing bubble exploded. Here lies the mad story of the bricks: in the same country, 400 000 subprime mortgagers risk foreclosure while five million new apartments remain empty. Bricks is about the life of those who make bricks, who live in cities made of bricks, who fight to call these bricks home.
