In this visual and sensory feast, Belgian-Congolese filmmaker Baloji explores the conflicting expectations that arise from different notions of identity, culture, and heritage. Navigating a surreal, ever-changing world of myths, his mercurial outsiders strive to reconcile themselves with tradition.

A Tamil fighter, along with a woman and a child posing as his wife and daughter, flee war-torn Sri Lanka and land in a Paris suburb blighted by drugs. They barely know one another, but try to build a life together.

The outstanding film from acclaimed filmmakers the Dardenne brothers is a testament to the power of the human spirit and the power of friendship.
