Winner: 75th Anniversary Prize, Cannes Film Festival 2022
The new award-winning title from legendary Belgian filmmakers the Dardenne brothers (TWO DAYS ONE NIGHT, THE KID WITH A BIKE). Gripping, powerful and utterly engrossing, this unmissable new cinematic work is one of the Dardennes' finest works to date, and is released exclusively in cinemas on December 2nd.
Following a young boy (Tori) and a teenage girl (Lokita) who have left their home countries of Cameroon and Benin to make a new life in Belgium, we follow their journey as they navigate a range of difficult and challenging experiences. Whether it be finding jobs on the black market or working to send money back to their families, their friendship provides an unbreakable bond that helps them survive. Hoping to get their papers to remain in the country, they soon find that there are an array of forces stacked against them. They must fight for both their friendship and their lives as their world slowly begins to crumble. Clinging to the hope of a better life, their struggle is a gripping testament to the power of the human spirit and the courage of their relationship.
