Vogelpik is ‘make or break’ and is above all a gamble based on an unexpected encounter. A Belgian personality travels to an unknown destination in Belgium to discover an unfamiliar world. In this film, we experience the shock of mixing different cultures. The Belgian Moroccan artist, Sam Touzani, participates in the experience of one of these improbable meetings. He is a multi-faceted artist: author, actor, director, dancer and choreographer. A defender of diversity and tolerance, Sam travels to Oostduinkerke, a small remote village. He discovers the daily life of Johan, a shrimp fisherman on horseback and his wife Esmeralda, a housewife. Sam is immersed in a place where ‘foreigners’ are not necessarily welcome. On horseback, Sam and Johan discuss and compare their views. This unexpected encounter shakes up clichés and questions intolerance.
