"Being in the moment has rarely been so exhilarating." - Tom Grierson, Screen International
"Gorgeously lensed by Grimm Vandekerckhove, Here is visual storytelling at its most instinctive and tender." - Zhuo Ning-Su, Awards Daily
Here is a beautifully understated and meditative drama, which gradually draws together two solitary characters in an unconventional love story. Stefan, a Romanian construction worker living in Brussels, is on the verge of moving back home. He cooks up a big pot of soup with leftovers in his fridge as a goodbye gift for friends and family. As he is about to leave, he meets a young Belgian-Chinese woman who is working in a little restaurant while researching her doctorate on mosses. Her attention to the near-invisible stops him in his tracks.
