one-million-square-foot abandoned greenhouse, where the neighbourhood teenagers come in search of privacy, freedom, and companionship. They hide their secrets there, in a place that could be considered their makeshift home.</span><span style="font-family:"Le Monde Livre Std",serif;color:#090103"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
