Tori, 12, and Rokita, 17, came to Belgium from Africa. The film depicts how they support each other and develop friendships while being illegally exploited by adults, pretending to be ``sister and brother''. This film can be said to be the true essence of the Dardenne brothers, as it always depicts the injustice and absurdity of society from the perspective of the weak, and at the same time breaks through the framework of a ``social film.''

March 31st (Friday) Human Trust Cinema Yurakucho, Shinjuku Musashinokan, Shibuya Cinequinto and other locations nationwide!

He even coined the term "Hong Kong Noir."
