On the heels of Ghost Tropic (2019), Bas Devos offers another Brussels city symphony.
Here follows Stefan, a Romanian construction worker living in Brussels who is about to return home to visit his mother, and maybe stay longer. But while waiting for his car to be fixed, he meets Shuxiu, a Belgian-Chinese woman preparing a doctorate on mosses. Her attention to the near-invisible stops him in his tracks. With a quiet grace that's becoming a trademark, Devos and his team capture both the longing of contemporary urban life and the potential for enchantment that still exists in spaces shared by strangers from different worlds.
