The Kid with a Bike

Jean-Pierre Dardenne20111h 27mSocial Issues, Drama

Written by Cinobo

In their most lavishly emotional moment, the always relentlessly realistic Dardenne brothers distinguished themselves once again in Cannes with a rough yet tender chronicle of a tortured orphan boy's path to acceptance, maturity and, of course, love.

Synopsis

An unruly and wild boy grows up abandoned by his father in a boarding school until -in a random act of kindness- a young hairdresser decides to take him into her home and tries to tame his delinquent behavior.
