'Bains Publics': this, too, is Brussels

Kita Bouchet is presenting Bains publics, an honest documentary about one of Brussels’s iconic locations, the Baths in the Centre.

A well-known café manager used to swim laps there to sober up, a refugee learns how to swim like an adult, the homeless have been able to bathe there for the past 65 years. An employee sometimes has it hard with people who relieve themselves in the shower, but know that “you have to accept people as they are” and worries when regulars don’t show up. This, too, is Brussels.
