Three starkly different people deal with the aftermath of the Brussels terrorist attacks in May 2016. A Flemish doctor, whose son is a fighter jet pilot on a mission in the Middle East, is forced to confront his loneliness. A young man of Algerian descent is asked by his brother to carry out a deceivingly simple favor. An Italian woman, who works in the heart of the European Institutions, is slowly losing control under the pressure of her demanding life. These three people are all connected by the movements of a camera which increasingly becomes the protagonist of this film, as it follows the city’s cracks and ruptures, its buildings and its inhabitants.
