Spending most of her days at home following the birth of her son but curious as ever about the people and places that surrounded her, Agnès Varda turns her camera on those whose shops are rue Daguerre’s lifeblood in Paris 14th district: bakers, tailors, butchers, perfumers, music-store clerks, driving instructors, and others, who talk of their lives, relationships, and dreams.
