Synopsis

Jacky, a cattle farmer constantly pumped on steroids and hormones, initiates a deal with a mafioso meat trader. But when an investigating federal agent is assassinated—and a woman from his traumatic past resurfaces—Jacky must confront his demons and face the consequences of his decisions.

Our take

Diving into the mysterious underworld of the “hormone mafia” in rural Belgium, Michaël R. Roskam’s taut, Oscar®-nominated crime drama weighs the agonizing burden of manhood’s expectations. All muscles and no peace, the soulful Matthias Schoenaerts stuns as a bruising vision of broken masculinity.
