The filmmaker Thierry De Mey brings viewers to the Floréal garden city in Brussels, where he spent his childhood. Built in the 1920s, the neighbourhood exemplifies pre-modernist architecture and militant urbanism through its harmonious simplicity and strong collective spirit. The film combines detailed shots of the architecture with intimate portraits of the residents, while minimalist music composed by the filmmaker supports the rhythmic structure. De Mey’s cinematic approach highlights the profound connection between the space and the people who live in it, offering an artistic and rhythmic tribute to this unique Brussels community.
