A brutal home-jacking goes hopelessly wrong. Dave, one of the two robbers, manages to run off, leaving his brother Kenneth behind. Four years later, Kenneth is released from prison and much has changed. Dave has his life back on track and is trying to help Kenneth however possible, but is witnessing how the highly strung Kenneth tries to win back his ex-girlfriend Sylvie.
Don’t expect the Dardennes, and The Ardennes won’t disappoint.
This tale of familial crime and punishment starts promisingly, but lurches off in various unconvincing directions and badly loses its way.
Robin Pront’s debut feature about a family of criminals in Belgium is full of bold storytelling and striking visuals.
