Directors: Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne
Starring: Jérémie Renier, Déborah François, Jérémie Segard and Fabrizio Rongione

Bruno and Sonia are boyfriend and girlfriend, playful, immature. She's still in her teens. The thing is, they also have a new baby. Just out of hospital, Sonia seeks out Bruno to bring him his son. Bruno's indifferent. In the grimy Belgian city of Seraing, he's a petty thief with no interest in work, no plan, spending money as fast as he can fence cameras and jewellery.

He sells the baby. Sonia's reaction and Bruno's surprise at her response inform his subsequent actions. The camera follows and observes him: has he a nascent conscience or any chance at redemption? Can he help himself?
