A cinematic peek into the communities that form the crucial weave into the weft of Rotterdam, some more visible than others. From the anticipatory grief for a neighbourhood that is slowly disappearing, to the anticipatory nostalgia about a community anchor in the form of a tiny old-Dutch restaurant slowly retiring. They are juxtaposed with other communities that persist, endure and even thrive – even if illegible at first glance – in self-made spaces or moving through Rotterdam’s streets on revving engines.
