Synopsis

Five teenagers in a shelter for young mothers struggle to build a future for themselves and their children. While the Dardenne brothers' cinema is not documentary, it documents a vital reality with their trademark wisdom. Their imagery generates shared emotion through simplicity—a closing door, a hushed conversation. The tone is realistic, the pace is brisk, and the drama is potent, successfully avoiding the melodrama inherent in the material to deliver a luminous, human narrative.
