Synopsis

A dispossessed young couple living in a bleak industrial Belgian town live off unemployment benefits, panhandling and petty theft. Their lives change forever when they have a baby. The father learns how one avaricious decision can affect the lives of everyone in his orbit.

Our take

Impressing jury president Emir Kusturica, Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardennes took home their second Palme d’Or for another of their hugely acclaimed, hugely impactful and riveting socio-realist films. A powerful relationship drama, launching the career of its two stars: Jeremie Renier & Déborah François.
