Fritkot
Manuel Poutte
2010 - 65 min - HDV - Couleur - Belgique

Life at a Brussels "fritkot", a typically Belgian kiosk that sells fries (chips), traditionally runs by a warm-hearted woman - the "frituriste".
This Belgian national institution targeted by EU hygiene regulations and the municipal city that consider it an eyesore, valiantly resists closure, and continues to sell packs of golden fries. An impromptu meeting place, from morning till night, the fritkot warms lonely hearts, fuels late night partiers, restores athletes after a big effort, and feeds homeless people...
