I started from a place on Left Bank where the children of parents who are absent for an unknown period of time (sailors, immigrants) live together, surrounded by big buildings that isolate them from the rest of the world. Their home is situated near the Scheldt, a river that runs through Belgium. They dream about the water that could take them far far away from here (just like their parents) and try communicating with their father through letters.
