Misstakes

André Mahy, an artistic but unemployed director, gets an offer to make a movie, the script of which appears to be a 'Kiekeboe' comic story entitled Misstakes. A fascinating dialogue develops between the fictional story of the family Kiekeboe and the real story of André Mahy and his film crew.

Gabriel

Is a convent anyplace for a boy? Gabriël is a lad of about eight, probably a foundling, who lives in a convent, the only child among about 20 nuns. Except for Sylvia, a young nun, Gabriël doesn't get on well with others. He thinks of himself as an angel, impatient to grow wings and to fly, impatient with earth's rules. He's been collecting feathers from the many geese on the convent grounds. What happens next seems to horrify everyone except Sylvia, who may be in on Gabriël's secret.
