COMING EVENT :
Feb 15th(Sun), Netherlands documentary screened @ CNex saloon cafe'
Films Title: < Wonderful World >
Netherlands / 2004 / 46min
Director : Coco Schrijber / Bonanza Films
Synopsis --
A city without homeless people is not really a city. Filthy bums, irritating bawlers, disheveled characters, they enrich our existence in a way we don’t really comprehend. Wonderful World immerses into the heads of people who have fallen out of our welfare-state.
Vagabond Jan Dominique approaches everyday as a beautiful day. Even when he is chased out of his ‘home’ by bulldozers. Saskia is homeless for 15 years and former physician. Her literary knowledge helps her to survive. The love elderly Lucy and Herman feel for eachother makes us envious. Wonderful World is a visual and musical tribute to individuals who dangle on the edge of oblivion.

What would you do if you woke up one morning and all your savings had vanished? The film follows the Borronis, an Argentinean middle class family, from 2002 to 2005. From crisis to the heartbreaking moment of emigration and a new beginning in Spain. Swedish filmmaker Fredrik Gertten followed a nice middle class family during three years, 2002 -2005. From the crisis that punished the middle class to the heartbreaking moment of emigration and a new beginning in Spain. Before, The Borroni family's future was bright:
Oscar had it all: he managed an oil company, had a great house, new car, American Express, Visa and Master Card. He traveled to the United States, Mexico and Europe. His wife Maria del los Angeles Kelez studied medicine and their three children attended private schools. But one day it was all over. The national crisis switched over to a personal one. The family had a $100.000 mortgage on the house but no income. Maria becomes an expert at the barter movement to survive without cash, swapping things to the family alive without money. They struggle to prevent their house from being auctioned, and finally decide to sell everything and leave the country. This is a film about losing faith in ones home country and starting from zero in another, leaving loved ones behind.
AN ORDINARY FAMILY shows the struggle to recover dignity and identity. Yet it is not a dark film as the Borroni's teach us in a human, loving and modest way how you can overcome such a crisis.
