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.

When Samuel is found dead, the police question if he was murdered or if he committed suicide and his wife Sandra becomes the main suspect. The investigation leads to an unsettling journey into the depths of their conflicted relationship.
