synopsis

Rabot tells the story of a social housing block on the brink of demolition. Those seeking a way out of their misery jump from the roof; those unable to find a home elsewhere land up here in this small high-rise community where indifference reigns supreme. Both the building and the residents must go, marking the end of a turbulent era. We follow several of the occupants during their final months in the tower block. A story of love, loneliness and poverty in the heart of Western society.
Rabot vertelt het verhaal van een sociaal woonblok dat tegen de vlakte moet. Wie een uitweg uit de miserie zocht, kwam er van het dak springen. Wie nergens anders een woning vond, kreeg er een plaats. Een klein dorp in de hoogte waar onverschilligheid hoogtij viert. De bewoners en het gebouw moeten weg; het is het einde van een woelig tijdperk. We volgen een aantal bewoners tijdens de laatste maanden van hun leven in de woontoren. Een raamvertelling over liefde, eenzaamheid en armoede in het hart van onze Westerse samenleving.
