Charleroi, once a thriving industrial city, now symbolises the problems plaguing the entire continent. This documentary combines archive footage with intimate portraits of people trying to survive.

synopsis

Charleroi used to be known for its thriving coal and steel industries, attracting people seeking work from all over Europe. But it has now come to symbolise the problems plaguing the entire continent: increasing unemployment, immigration and petty crime - and a growing sense of unease. To make matters worse, rain seems to be constantly falling from the grey blanket of clouds looming over the dilapidated apartment blocks and slumbering factories. Archive footage of a vibrant industry is intercut with portraits of people dealing with a changing world. A former migrant worker, a group of men who clear out houses belonging to people who died alone, a sturdy dominatrix and a young man struggling with the widening gulf between sections of the population all speak from the heart about how they're managing to keep it together.
