Pieter van Hees : 2014
Hard-edged and hard-working homicide detective Leo Woeste spends his days confronting the grim criminal underworld of Brussels, and finds solace in his domestic life with partner Kathleen and her five-year-old son. While Leo is working to solve the brutal murder of a young Congolese-Belgian man, he and Kathleen discover that she's unexpectedly pregnant with their first child together. He vows to make this his final homicide case, and follows the trail deep into a bizarre subculture involving the mysterious trade of Congolese idols. When he finds himself drawn to the victim's sexy and enigmatic sister, Leo begins to slip away from the very family life he is trying to protect, and his fears about fatherhood and the nature of evil consume him. His animal instincts take hold, and he spirals into the abyss of his own darkness, haunted by the question of whether he'll be able to claw his way back. Pieter van Hees's feature premiered at Toronto International Film Festival 2014, and was winner of the Cineuropa Prize when it screened in competition at Festival de Cinéma Européen des Arcs 2014.
