Seagulls Die in the Harbour

Original title: Meeuwen sterven in de haven

Directed by Ivo Michiels

A pessimistic urban drama, with a musical score by Jack Sels and Max Damasse, charts in strongly expressionistically lit black-and-white images the wanderings of a tormented man through the cosmopolitan port city of Antwerp. The only people to show him understanding are an orphan and two disillusioned women.
