Synopsis:

Claus Drexel's highly impressive documentary On The Edge Of The World is a tableau of testimonies from Paris' homeless community. Backdropped by the touristic familiarity of the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triumph and Notre Dame Cathedral, Drexel's lowly subjects speak with an openness and trust that makes for consistently compelling viewing. The film's focus isn't so much the social and political causes/ramifications of widespread homelessness across the French capital as it is the phenomenon of being dispossessed itself - as told by those at the very bottom.

Paris, at night. This is where Jeni, Wenceslas, Christine, Pascal and the others live. Homeless, they haunt the streets and bridges, and corridors of the metro ; on the edge of a world where society no longer offers protection. They face us and they talk.
