High Estate

Sinopse

High Estate is inspired by the stories of those who lived in the Assas Tower, a significant building housing people in a deprived area of Montpellier. The 76 meter high building is due to be demolished in 2024. The film follows, Saina, a Moroccan woman who moves into the tower block in 1972. The film follows her from decade to decade, and we see the small moments that make up a life unfold within the four walls. Saina builds a home across the years, and, as her life progresses, the story moves closer to the inevitable destruction of the place she calls home.
