Synopsis: You can't miss them. They'll be looking out for you, and, once they catch you, they'll chuck you into the eviction machine as soon as they can. With dollar signs for eyes, they're voracious and merciless toward their victims. Some claim they need to renovate urgently, while others say they need to adjust to the market, otherwise they'll be in trouble. Still others harass their victims, solely for the pleasure of seeing them squirm. Alfreda Leduc, an elderly lady, is forced to move because her landlord wants to repossess the house she's currently occupying. There's a pandemic in the country and everything's going from bad to worse. Despite his threats, she refuses to give up and decides to wait things out until the Housing Authority holds a hearing. However, the landlord has no end of ideas to harm his tenant. He wants her out of his building at all costs! How will this misadventure end? In her home or under a bridge?
