The Wall (original title Le Mur) is a 1998 Belgian tragicomedy film, directed by Alain Berliner for the 2000, Seen By... series.
The story is a surreal[1] satirical allegory of the bi-lingual problems in Belgium.
Albert is a 35-year old Walloon philosopher who works as a Belgian fries salesman.
After a new year celebration Albert wakes up and discovers to his horror that overnight a giant wall has been built on the language border, effectively separating Flanders from Wallonia.
The film was made for the 2000, Seen By... project,[4] initiated by the French company Hout et Court to produce films depicting the approaching turn of the millennium seen from the perspectives of 10 different countries.
