A documentary exploring the daily lives of the carnie community during their annual tour through Belgium.

synopsis

This documentary follows the carnie community on their annual tour through Belgium, in which they invite us to see the other side of their bizarre roadshow. While fairgrounds nowadays are increasingly being excluded from city centres, we look inside the daily lives of those who live and breathe the carnie heritage.
En suivant des membres de la communauté foraine dans leur grande tournée annuelle à Liège, Alost, Anvers et Bruxelles, « Les forains » nous invite à passer de l'autre côté du décor de cette grande kermesse itinérante. A l'heure où la foire est toujours un peu plus exclue des centres villes, nous partageons le quotidien de ceux qui en vivent et en portent l'héritage.
