Three people walk across the fields in French-Flanders and along the North Sea coast during the last three days of the year. A man, a woman, a man with a camera.

Ben De Raes
In a street in Brussels, day laborers are looking for a job for one day. Gathered in small groups, they wait for hours until a white van picks them up. They get dropped off at a construction site or field. Employers pay small salaries and no social security is provided.

From Dutch Limburg a live report is transmitted of a large-scale symphonic band festival. At the same time the brass band Midden-Brabant responds over another satellite uplink...
