People waiting for their bus
"It's a very simple story, shot in a quiet street in Brussels. People waiting for the bus that is late, talking to each other, trusting each other, talking about the weather and giving each other practical tips. It is life as it is, in its troubling banality, that Van Antwerpen shows us. " (Luc Honorez, Le Soir, 1974).
