The Boulevard d'Ypres in Brussels, with its colourful Mediterranean stores, offers glimpses of the Tales of One Thousand and One Nights. Sarah Vanagt turned one the empty stores into a film studio and invited her neighbours - a mix of new inhabitants, asylum-seekers and shopkeepers - to come and tell a story, a contemporary fairy tale. Before the empty store becomes a restaurant, a fitness centre, or an art gallery, the old store-house temporarily functions as a place of memory. The shop, the street, and the storytellers all find themselves at a point zero of history.
