Description:
The film follows Igor and his father, Roger, as they live within the criminal world of housing and illegal work in Liege, Belgium. Their lives are marked by lies and manipulation, fostering a tense and morally gray atmosphere. When one of Roger's workers gets hurt, Igor faces a difficult choice: keep his word to the worker's family or remain loyal to his father. Torn between these obligations, the film examines family, trust, and the impact of decisions made in a harsh world.
