The Ardennes

Robin Pront directs and co-writes this Belgian crime drama starring Kevin Janssens, Jeroen Perceval and Veerle Baetens. After a robbery gone wrong, Kenneth (Janssens) is imprisoned for four years while his brother Dave (Jeroen Perceval) escapes and takes off with Kenneth's girlfriend Sylvie (Baetens). When Kenneth is released from prison, after failing to cooperate with the police, he's eager to return to his old ways but discovers Dave is a reformed man keen to stay clean. Unsure how his brother will react, Dave can't bring himself to tell Kenny that he and Sylvie are now a couple and expecting a child together. Aware that Kenny's volatility could sink their relationship, Dave dubiously agrees to help his brother cover up his latest crime in the Ardennes forests where they spent their childhood together.
