The theme of this film is the children's view on the destruction of a working-class area. The loss, for them of the dilapidated alleyways and waste ground where they met up and played. Their anger, their futile revolt against the demolition workers only serve to confirm their powerlessness and status as social outcasts.
The Children's Building Site
As Brussels gears up to host the 1958 Universal Exhibition, the workers of the Marolles follow their own pace and traditions. Among the knife sharpener, the fruit and vegetable seller, the snail vendor, the roving glazier, and the mischievous "ketjes", the old coco merchant serving his last round of licorice lemonade. The vendors work side-by-side in harmony sharing a certain working class philosophy. A precious document on mid-century city life.
