Pour vous servir(1976)

1976: a university hospital in Brussels. Old women gather in a common room. Sick? Perhaps. Lonely, above all.

A very malignant tumour. A tumour that proliferates in a society ‘proud’ of its social security system but which creates a ghetto of the unproductive, the ‘left behind’, the elderly who hurt themselves by contemplating their loneliness in a hospital ward.
