Origin Pays-bas
Genres Documentary
Au milieu du hurlement des sirènes et des klaxons, les passants et les véhicules s'entrecroisent sur l'une des places principales de la ville d'Amsterdam. Soudain chacun s'immobilise et semble respecter une minute de silence. Dans ce moment de silence, le cinéaste nous montre diverses facettes d'un paysage urbain presque irréel: des enfants jouent au milieu des conteneurs, des péniches manœuvrent dans les canaux, des ferrailleurs travaillent dans la vacarme des moteurs, un homme allume un feu au bord de l'eau, la musique rythme les mouvements des manèges de la fête foraine. La parenthèse se referme lorsque le moment de silence prend fin. Les passants et les véhicules reprennent leur route. Pour Johan van der Keuken ce Moment de silence est l'occasion de modifier pendant un court instant, le fil du temps et du récit.
