Why we chose it
The Dardenne brothers, masters of realism, won the Grand Prix at Cannes with their most moving film, about a lonely boy who has to learn to trust other people and himself. They had never used music in their films before, but this time they reach for Beethoven.
Synopsis
Twelve-year-old Cyril lives in a children’s home in Belgium, and his father has vanished without a trace, selling the boy’s bike on his way out. Cyril refuses to accept it and runs away, until Samantha, a hairdresser he barely knows, agrees to have him to stay at weekends. She also buys his bike back.
