In 1988, over 100 people lived in the Conradstraat squat in Amsterdam, including many artists, painters, musicians, sculptors, filmmakers. The squatters were brutally expelled by the police during the night of 18th June 1988. All of them left except one, Job. While the cranes and diggers are busy demolishing the buildings, Job continues to live there, in an ever-diminishing space, seemingly unaware of the area’s destruction, as if nothing could capture his attention any more except the small wood shavings that he piles up on little boards for infinite contemplation, as if his inner world is shrinking as the outside closes in around him. Then one day Job disappears. And no one has seen him since. (Yann Lardeau)
