The Darden brothers are fiercer than ever, in this human-centric, gritty tale of survival in the heart of Europe. Two children against the world, their only weapons being care and mutual support. Special 75th Anniversary Prize at the Cannes Film Festival.

Synopsis

A young boy and a teenage girl travel all alone from Africa to Belgium, putting their priceless friendship above the harsh conditions of their exile. They call each other " siblings" and say they are orphans. They are careful about the details of the story they tell when they talk to the local authorities, while Lokita has to work to pay back the smugglers who brought her into the country, and also to earn money to send back home - to her mother.
