Here by Bas Devos will have its Belgian premiere in the Official Competition of the 50th edition of Film Fest Gent. The film previously had its world premiere at the Berlinale, where it won the top prize in the Encounters section. It was also announced today that Here will be screened in the Wavelengths section in Toronto and in the Main Slate programme of the New York Film Festival, a remarkable achievement for a Flemish film.
Synopsis
Stefan is a mild-mannered construction worker in Brussels about to leave for his homeland Romania. With the leftovers in his fridge, he prepares a big pot of soup to hand out to his friends and family as a farewell gift. Stefan's paths cross those of a young Belgian-Chinese woman devoting her PhD to mosses. Her interest in the barely visible intrigues him.
Two people than with their feet firmly rooted in Mother Nature's soft carpeting? It is more fragile than cement, but it is our true terrain.
