Staande! Debout!
Pennanen Anu
2012, Vilvoorde, an abandoned industrial area in Flanders, Belgium. Felix is an ex-car factory worker. Fifteen years ago his employer suddenly announced the plant's closure. In response 3100 workers went on strike, paralyzing Belgium for weeks. But what remains after solidarity and struggle? Based on true events, this fictionalized account follows Felix's attempts to overcome forgetting and myth-making to make sense of the traumatic events.
