After a seven-year absence, Rudy Vandekerckhove has set himself a clear objective: he hopes to find a new job, and - more importantly - to reconcile with the daughter he left behind.

A strange encounter during an online chat leads him towards a startling discovery.

Offline is an emotional, tender story carried by a mesmerizing score by Triggerfinger.

The latest revelation to emerge from the booming Flemish film scene, Offline won four prizes at the Amiens International Film Festival.

ABOUT THE DIRECTOR Peter Monsaert studied language and literature at the Ghent University and afterwards graduated as Master of Audiovisual Arts at the Ghent Royal Academy (KASK). He has developed an artistic career in various disciplines, always exploring the crossover area between film and performance. His cinematic involvement in multimedia theatrical productions eventually provoked him to step onto the stage himself, featuring as an actor in no less than six self-written theatre plays.

Offline marks his return to film as an autonomous artistic expression. His rich and multi-faced artistic background and experience constituted a solid basis for this first feature-length theatrical film which marks the beginning of an interesting and challenging new professional career.
