The Wiels Marsh, located in Brussels, hosts a body of water that is crucial for numerous species of birds, amphibians, and insects, as well as adapted vegetation that has allowed local biodiversity to thrive. In this animated documentary, several speakers voice their support for this unique place. The directors trace the history of this natural sanctuary, constantly threatened by real estate projects, and highlight the work of the volunteers who ensure its daily upkeep.

Atelier du Soir
The group for Les Marais Wiels was composed by Charlotte Pion, Martine Janssens, Christine Flasschoen, Aurore Woller, Marie Fontaine, Catherine Le Goff and Claire Poinas. The goal of the Atelier du Soir is to create animated films as a team on a common theme. Each director creates a sequence of the film while collaborating with the other participants. The uniqueness of the Atelier du Soir lies in animating graphic materials directly under the camera on a light table.
