⋮ SYNOPSIS ⋮
The film shows the dark heart of Charleroi, a city which struggles with its industrial legacy and its positioning in an European and international landscape.
Charleroi used to be known for its thriving coal and steel industries. This city near the Belgian capital of Brussels once attracted people seeking work from all over Europe. But it has now come to symbolize the problems plaguing the entire continent: increasing unemployment, immigration and petty crime – and a growing sense of unease.
A contemporary and artistic rendering of its inhabitants and city landscape shows the reality in this city at the heart of Europe.
