In modern terms, the show could be classified as reality television. This precursor of the genre is often cited by Québécois intellectuals[which?] as a more intelligent and respectable form, before the Loft Story and Occupation Double era.
Each season centered on a number of young people from Franco-Ontarian, Acadian and Quebec regions, living in one or more Montreal apartments. They did not know each other before the adventure, except on season four. Its theme song was composed and performed by Gaspé chansonnier Kevin Parent.
