Love is born from the acceptance of others. A moving film that shook Cannes by depicting the essence of human nature! A young boy is the perpetrator of a murder that took his son's life, and his father is the victim, who has complex feelings about his son's death. This profoundly moving film highlights the theme of human dignity through the exchange of their souls as realistically as if we were watching a documentary. Olivier Gourmet stars in his third Dardenne Brothers film, following "Igor's Promise" and "Rosetta. He has little dialogue to express his emotions, but expresses them through his facial expressions and even more so through his body. --Olivier teaches carpentry at a vocational training center. One day, a boy named Francis enters the school. Olivier is upset and secretly observes his movements. Francis does not know what kind of adult he should be, and is looking for someone who will accept him. Olivier eventually begins to teach Francis his work when he joins his class, and Francis comes to look up to Olivier like a father. However, Olivier's heart is still burdened by the shadow of a certain incident. Francis is the murderer of his own son five years earlier.
