Instead of fighting against poverty, we fight against the poor. Europe: its rich areas and its poor suburbs where “zero tolerance” is becoming widespread. Where a factory is closed, a prison is built The poor in general and the young im- migrants in particular are the subjects of all fears. The film breaks the clichés and features them in their humaneness, in a cell in jail, in the dock or down in the basement of a settlement, with their emotions, desires, fears and despair. Far away from a concept of European democracy where everyone would have their chance, the film – calling Belgium and France to witness – critically and emotionally depicts our society that is often sordid and violent.

Patric Jean, born in 1968, grew up in the coal-mining area of Mons in Belgium between his working-class grandparents and his singer-at-the-opera mother. After ten- year courses in dramatic art, he entered the Royal Academy of Brussels where he won First Prize. He also studied at the Université Libre in Brussels. He became a teacher of French and he enrolled in a film direction class. During his four-year studies he created and designed “Nemo”, a magazine sold in the streets by homeless people. He directed several documentaries: Intra-Muros (1995), La conquête du Pole (1997), Les enfants du Borinage, Lettre a Henri Stork (1999), Traces (2000), La bonheur economique (2001).
