ON THE EDGE OF HAPPINESS
Belgium 2016 – Director: Wil Mathijs – Original language: Bulgarian, Dutch, French, Turkish – Subtitles: English – Length: 70 min.
On the periphery of Ghent, in an industrial wasteland on the edge of nowhere stands a corrugated iron shelter. Here two families from Bulgaria sit and wait for social welfare, work and a future that will never come. A raw slice of reality direct from Europe’s backyard.
