Where Are You Going? Brussels

Where Are You Going?

Available for over a year

An interrupted journey is like a portal into somebody else鈥檚 life. Catherine Carr interrupts strangers on everyday journeys asks them where they are going. The encounters which follow reveal funny, poignant and sometimes astonishing details about the lives of others. In cosmopolitan Brussels, she meets a multilingual Bulgarian translator who is mad about dancing and whose wife thinks he鈥檚 鈥渁 little bit weird鈥 鈥 not least because he is openly gay. In a freezing park, we bump into a choreographer who is doing his best to help a vulnerable young Romanian man. And on the cobbled streets of the European capital, a young couple on a mini-break are starting to realise they are in love. (Photo: Tourists from the UK who are on holiday in Brussels.
