No Woman's land

Anne-Marie. Job : 30t. lorry driver. She carries Liège’s steel to France, sometimes even further, to Spain. Crisscrossing factories, she unloads steel rollers and armoured plates. Crisscrossing highways, she dispatches them to various places. Loading and unloading : meeting workers, meeting men. Sharing the same work, the same kind of solidarity. Roads, halts, hostile people, sometimes even violent ones ; ignoring her or even worse, labeling her as some « alien body ». Loneliness is heavy and oppressive but there is laughter too : smiling or shaking with laughter. The exhilarating feeling of somehow being the « skipper », the pleasure of driving. The early hours, the huge factories, the endless highways, the silence, the deafening noises, sighs… and then concerns.
