Synopsis

The film explores how sound can shape our understanding of trauma and recovery. Using public CCTV footage from the aftermath of the 2016 Brussels attacks, the work places sound before image. Placing the viewer inside a space of tension, memory, and reflection. Testimonies from a poet processing collective grief and a gong master using sound for therapeutic purposes guide the narrative. By combining real-time audio, publicly available surveillance footage, and personal accounts, the film examines how sound acts as both a trigger and a tool for healing in a post-crisis city.

This film positions sound not as accompaniment but as system: transmitted through urban space and layered sonic environments that demonstrate sound's active role in both psychological distress and restoration.
