All it took was a broken neck for him to get noticed.

22 MEI
Belgium | Narrative | 88 Minutes Directed by Koen Mortier Sam lives a life of emotional isolation working as a security guard at a mall. One day, his routine is brutally altered when a young man sets off a bomb, blowing the mall to pieces. Sam survives the blast and tries to rescue victims,. His subsequent encounters with the people he saved will raise an important question: Why? How could anyone commit something that atrocious? The director of the controversial Ex Drummer embarks on a journey towards the depths of guilt and horror where its seductive aesthetics surprisingly join the starkest realism with flights towards the oneiric and the subconscious.
