De Kolonie

Filip Lenaerts Belgiл, Duitsland, Palestina 2011 88 min.

A nondescript bus stop in the middle of a nature area Merksplas. All the men and women who stand there waiting have an unspoken taboo in common. It has everything to do with the static building across the street: a prison known colloquially as “The Colony”. They all know why they are there. They share the same fate and that is why no one is judged here. A disarming film about love beyond fear, trauma, sadness and bars.
