Brussel, scherven van geluk

’Brussels, fragments of happiness’ is no ordinary documentary on the Belgian capital. The aim of its creators, Jef Cornelis and scenarists Rudi Laermans and Pieter ’T Jonck, was to understand why this city had turned into what it is: a transitory space, a city where many thousands of Flemish people arrive by train or by car to go to work every day, just to leave again in the evening. Why did Brussels change from a ’dazzling city’ into a ’forbidden’ one for so many Flemings and Walloons?
