1985

"In 1980, a young woman, her brother and his best friend start their adventure into adult life. Full of good intentions, they have a promising future, Inge as a law student at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Marc and Franky as recruits with the Gendarmerie. However, in the following years, they all lose their innocence and illusions. Just like the entire country, they sink deeper into the swamp that will be known as the ‘Brabant Killers..."

Roomies 

"Bibi and Ama are two lesbian friends in their early twenties. In the hope of becoming a better version of themselves, they move in together in a flat in Brussels. Each in their own way under the same roof, they come to one new conclusion: coming out doesn’t mean coming clean."

Yuku et la leur d'Himalaya

"Yuku’s grandmother is at the brink of life. Yuku goes looking for Himalayan peony to reassure herself that she truly is the worthy heiress of the elderly storyteller."
