Rabot tells the story of a social housing block that is being torn down. People looking for a way out of their misery come here to jump off the roof. People who did not find a place to call home anywhere else ended up here. The tall blocks are a small village where indifference reigns supreme. Both the residents and the building have to disappear, the end of a turbulent era. We follow a number of residents during the last months of their lives in the residential tower. A story about love, loneliness and poverty in the heart of our Western society. The feature film debut of director Christina Vandekerckhove premiered at the Ghent Film Festival and won the Audience Award. It is not the first time that a documentary has won the Audience Award in Ghent, but it is the first time that a Flemish documentary has done so. 'Rabot' is much more than a Ghent get-together: the film is a powerful and dignified portrait of poverty, told with compassion and honesty; shot in beautiful frames, but without frills. The intense score of Stijn Ylode De Gezelle and Madensuyu, lift the film to an even higher level.
