Here
(2024)In this luminous, gossamer-delicate portrait of human connection, Stefan (Stefan Gota), a Romanian construction worker living in Brussels, says goodbye to his friends as he prepares to leave the city and return home to his mother for a possibly extended stay. But while waiting for his car to be fixed, he meets Shuxiu (Liyo Gong), a Belgian-Chinese woman preparing a doctorate on mosses, whose attention to the near-invisible stops him in his tracks. On the heels of his similarly ethereal GHOST TROPIC, rising director Bas Devos offers another mood-drenched Brussels city symphony. With a quiet grace that’s becoming a trademark, he captures both the longing of contemporary urban life and the potential for enchantment that still exists in spaces shared by strangers from different worlds.
