EN - One night, on a bridge, a young man sits alone. Despite his bloody hand, he seems serene. A few meters away, paramedics are carrying off a body wrapped in white plastic. The young man is named Julien. He is a professional football player who lives with his father, a fireman. We also follow the path of a young rebel named Pouga, who dreams of living the high life. Even though they do not know each other Julien and Pouga are very much alike. They are unaware that their fates will inexorably cross paths.
FR - Une nuit, un jeune homme est assis seul sur un pont. En dépit de ses mains ensanglantées, il semble être serein. A quelques mètres de cela, des auxiliaires médicaux s’occupent d’un corps enveloppé dans du plastique blanc. Le jeune homme s’appelle Julien. C’est un footballeur professionnel qui vit avec son père pompier. Nous suivons aussi les traces d’une jeune rebelle appelée Pouga, qui rêve de vivre la grande vie. Bien qu’ils ne se connaissent pas tous les deux, Julien et Pouga se ressemblent. Ils ne sont pas conscients que leur destin vont inévitablement se rencontrer.

In total, no less than 10 Flemish (co)productions were confirmed for the Canadian fest’s line-up.
