Step Into My ShoesIn a quiet suburb of Paris, Matou passes a mosque on her way home from school and cant resist trying on some of the shoes she finds outside. Curious about the shoes wearers, she begins to imagine the lives they might lead. Why do the trainers of the neatly dressed boy look like they have never been worn? Why are the ballet shoes of the girl from her school so worn out? With no one to give her any answers, she starts to imagine the answers for herself.
