Grey-curled chickadees
A film about conversations, the kind that float around us like the smoke from a bistro. A film about a voice that has lost its power and is no longer listened to: the voices of older people, who nevertheless make up a significant portion of today's urban population. A film that focuses on this new generation we don't yet know: that of active and passionate retirees. Whispered between purchases on the streets of Brussels, in a pastry shop in an upscale neighborhood, or in a dining room in the capital's less affluent suburbs, their conversation jumps from reflections to discussions about current events, all with the flavor of Brussels cuisine...
