Alfonso is the founder and the emblematic figure of the Gospel choir: Gospel Kids, which is still growing up and brings together children from Strasbourg's districts.
Just like a note book full of words and pictures covering the years from 2000 to 2006, this film bears witness to groups of asylum seekers drifting through Strasbourg.
Twenty years after the historic call by Coluche on the French radio "Europe 1", the "Restaurants of Heart" still exist and became a true charitable institution. Shot in Strasbourg, during winter, the film shows volunteers who help poor people who receive goods to survive.
