Plot
This social comedy by Louis-Julien Petit is based on the novel by Claire Lajeunie that portrays the precarious reality of homeless women in France. On the big screen, Petit translates fiction into a comedy tone, for which it counts on a cast composed mostly of non-professional actresses. The story begins when, after a municipal decision, a social center for homeless women, 'L'Envol', is about to close. With only
three months to reintegrate the women they care for into society, the social workers do everything
they can: pulling contacts, saying half-truths, and even outright lies ... From now on,
anything goes! They deserve it.

A sunny comedy

To the North
'Invisibles' was shot in the North region of France, which is caracteristic for the accent of their people. In words of the director this region is an "inexhaustible mine of extras".
