Often in life's experiences, we only remember what is strong and significant over the course of meetings, discoveries and disappointments. "111 rue de la poste": it was my address in Belgium which became the title of this film. This is a trace of what I experienced in Brussels during my years of study at L'Insas. A reflection on my life, and that of the other women with whom I shared the same roof. From a very personal experience, I tried to create links and go to each other to communicate, meet and share. In the urge to capture fleeting moments, I took the camera to film. In this experience, I tried to collect my thoughts, to translate my feelings and to tell the adventure of this film which is inseparable from my life in Belgium. I made this film with the others and I, in turn, want to share this experience, to extend the meetings.
