Small rampart

petit rempart Director: Eve Duchemin – Belgian – 2024 - Duration: 87’ - VO ST NL Ève Duchemin addressed themes surrounding prison in her two previous films, Temps morts and En bataille. Here, she presents the reality of an emergency reception center, the Samusocial. Mariem, in her early fifties, is recognized as disabled, so she is entitled to benefits from the Mutuelle. Due to the loss of her reference postal address following a separation, her administrative reality is shaken. This plunges her into the streets for a few days, and to get back on her feet, she turns to the SAMU social, where she finds a place and slips into the assistance system. Petit rempart presents a slice of life within this reception center, the solidarity and friendships that form there between women plunged into situations of great precariousness, who suffer from not being able to easily recover their rights, and the determination Mariem shows to get out of it. At the end of the screening, a meeting is planned with the Samusocial services.
