A place in the village

A sight. A space. We are in Mesnil-Eglise, Belgium. A village like a world, where mingle personalities, ideas and cultures... Where the new ones are trying to find their place without dislodging the elders. Where one tries to respect the ground and those who live on it. A village slightly isolated from the world and its wild ride, but whose inhabitants are struggling with the same problems anyone is: children, work, car, happiness. Some inhabitants - a community? - who try to instill life into the words ecology and solidarity with strength and humor. To get one's place in the village, it might also be attempting to live a life up to one's measure, in total utopia.
