Overview

It is winter at an emergency shelter for the homeless in Lausanne. Every night at the door of this little-known basement facility the same entry ritual takes place, resulting in confrontations which can sometimes turn violent. Those on duty at the shelter have the difficult task of โ€œtriaging the poorโ€: the women and children first, then the men. Although the total capacity at the shelter is 100, only 50 โ€œchosen onesโ€ will be admitted inside and granted a warm meal and a bed. The others know it will be a long night.
