Dir: Tom Fassaert. Netherlands 2011. Dutch with English subtitles. 76mins
Near the port of Antwerp lies Doel, a village about to be razed to make way for an expansion of the harbour. While Doel slowly dies, Emilienne Driesen, an elderly widow stolidly refuses to leave the only house she's ever known.
Starkly, beautifully filmed in black and white over six years, life seems to be carrying on as normal around Emilienne's kitchen table. But when her friends leave, the village priest dies and the demolition begins, her last stand is a way of making sure that, at least, her lost home will be remembered.
