DIRECTORS' STATEMENT

“This film probably dates from a day during the shooting of our previous film (THE SON). We were in Seraing, Belgium on Rue du Molinay. In the morning, afternoon and evening, we saw a girl pushing a pram along, with a newborn baby asleep inside it. She didn't seem to be going anywhere in particular - just around and around with the pram. We have often thought back to this girl, her pram, the sleeping child, and the missing character: the child's father. This absent figure would become our story... A love story that is also the story of a father.”
