Trois petites maisons (Three small houses)

Jean-Frédéric de Hasque, 2007, Belgium, 48’

The film tells the story of a big African city by following three people who all belong to an apparent African middle class all involved in small building projects. Shooting the scenes of building is a metaphor of the protagonists personal development. They create their spaces through their available means. Building is a global symbol of the progress of a town and his inhabitants.
