De Stad en het Verlangen - Zeven New Orleans Sketches plot

William Faulkner lived in New Orleans for several months in 1925, writing short sketches. In it he brings the city to life in street scenes. Guided by Faulkner's impressions, documentary maker Marjoleine Boonstra wanders through the ruined streets of New Orleans in search of the fears and dreams of people whose lives have been set adrift by Katrina. She encounters violent drug dealers, an old carpenter, three sisters, a lost counselor, an inconsolable actress, grown-up boys, two friends in wheelchairs and a wise composer. They tell about their lives in the almost surrealistic setting of the city. They're people trying to get their lives back on track in Katrina's shadow, while the city sweeps up the debris of her soul.
