The Dardennes create tension out of human drama and draw believable, excellent performances from their entire cast.

Cyril, almost 12, has only one plan: to find the father who left him temporarily in a children's home. By chance he meets Samantha, who runs a hairdressing salon and agrees to let him stay with her at weekends. Cyril doesn't recognize the love Samantha feels for him, a love he desperately needs to calm his rage.

This affecting and gripping drama is one of the finest films from the directors of 'The Child', 'Rosetta' and 'The Silence of Lorna'.
