The Kid with a Bike

[Machine Translation] The latest film by the world-renowned director Dardenne.

Winner of the Grand Prix at the 64th Cannes International Film Festival! Thomas Dore, who plays Cyril, was considered a candidate for the Best Actor Award at Cannes for his performance that was hard to believe that it was his first time playing a leading role in a film. Cecile de France also gave an excellent performance as Samantha. This is the first time in history that five films in a row have won major awards at Cannes! --Cyril is a boy who will soon turn 12 years old. His wish is to find his father, who left him in a home (orphanage), and live with him again. While searching for his father alone, he meets Samantha, a woman who runs a beauty salon. Samantha listens to Cyril's story and helps him find his father's precious bicycle, which he says was stolen, and brings it back to him. Cyril asks Samantha to be his foster parent for the weekend, and they begin their search for his father while living together. Cyril finally finds his father and is reunited with him. However, instead of being happy, he casually rejects Cyril...
