This gripping thriller centers on the destiny of a woman caught between love and the law of the underworld. Lorna, a young Albanian woman living in Belgium, becomes an accomplice in a diabolical plan devised by a mobster who has set up Lorna’s false marriage to Claudy, allowing her to become a Belgian citizen/get citizenship. However, she is then asked to marry a Russian mafioso in need of a passport, who intends to kill Claudy in order to speed up the second marriage. But will Lorna remain silent? From Belgian filmmakers the Dardenne brothers (L’Enfant, Rosetta).

Another masterpiece… We are drawn into another life, which is one of the great gifts the cinema gives us. – ROGER EBERT (3 ½ stars)
