A report in a choir of homeless people.

Charlie Dupiot was able to attend a rehearsal of the choir “Au Clair de la Rueʹʹ, born 13 years ago in Nantes, in the west of France.

The choristers rehearse to sing at the funerals of street men and women who often die indifferently.

The rehearsal begins, in the hall of a Protestant temple in Nantes.
