An Angel in Doel is about man's struggle against the inevitable: his own mortality.

synopsis

Near the port of Antwerp lies the village of Doel, which has been in the way of the megalomaniac expansionary urges of Antwerp for decades and now finally has to disappear. While Doel is slowly dying, the elderly Emilienne attempts to keep up a pretence of normality. At her kitchen table village life continues as if nothing has changed. But when her close friends leave, the village priest dies and demolition begins, the end seems inevitable.
Près du port d’Anvers se trouve le village de Doel. Durant des décennies, celui-ci a gêné le désir expansionniste mégalomane d’Anvers et doit maintenant disparaître. Alors que Doel meurt à petit feu, Emilienne, la doyenne du village essaie de simuler un semblant de normalité. Depuis sa table de cuisine, la vie du village continue comme si rien n’avait changé. Mais lorsque ses amis proches s’en vont, que le prêtre du village meurt et que la destruction commence, la chute semble inévitable. Va-t-elle finalement être forcée à lâcher prise ?
inalement, An Angel in Doel aborde la question du combat de l’homme contre l’inévitable : sa propre mortalité.
