Fake left.
Run right.
Pass.
There are no messages here.
So we may breathe.
Run.
Dribble.
Jump.
We are carefully playing the game
The body has always wanted a life of its own
Most days, you’ll find me here.
Mieriën Coppens
Three men are working on a construction site. The work has been interrupted by five months of imprisonment. The rain suddenly falls like the silence that precedes an eviction.
Standing Guard is an adaptation of This House, an earlier film by Coppens and Maissin. Without an introduction, we witness a significant gathering in the corridors of the occupied building of ‘La Voix des Sans-Papiers’ in brussels.
