Abstract: 47 interviews filmed on rue d'Antioche in Angers explore how the time of government measures and the time felt by the inhabitants more or less agreed or disagreed during the variable geometry confinements of the 'cursed year' 2020-2021 (Fenoglio, 2021, 30). They also investigate the experience of the time suspended between confinements as well as the prospects - or otherwise - of a rebound.
