Short summary

When Floh, armed with her accordion, starts one of her songs on the Grand-Place in Brussels, she does so with raucous energy. She has an impulse of rebellion, the strength to go against an excessively established movement, "These mapped-out paths on which we have been placed", dixit her song with the same name as the film. Floh lives on the fringes, plays mainly on the tarmac itself and confronts reality head-on. For her, song is a cry, and singing is to fight.

    I was totally taken by this touching film about the illegal street musician in Brussels. Living in the house of hookers and making music with her accordion on the streets. Floh has a difficult childhood, but she tries to deal with it, using music as a shield and ointment for her soul. She shares her story with the bystanders on the streets. She has haunting dreams connected to her past, but she fights with them by being a rebel and living out her frustrations in her lyrics. She takes us to her inner world of fears, aspirations and hopes. As we get closer to her and her struggles we slowly discover what is the most important thing for he and how she deals with it. Behind the dark facade there is a gentle soul trying to find her place under the sun. Brilliant directing and cinematography. Moving and compassionate story.
