Testimony on the daily experiences and reality of men and women who came to France from the Maghreb between the 1940s and 1970s. Far from the stereotypes about immigrant workers, these portraits evoke the history of these "ordinary" people who deployed considerable energy for transmitting the cultural codes of their country of origin and for the education of their children in France.
