(1996)Directed by Jean-Pierre Dardenne, Luc Dardenne94 minDrama

Igor (Jérémie Renier), fifteen, wants to keep a promise made to a dying man: to look after his wife and baby. The man is one of the illegal workers his father Roger (Olivier Gourmet) houses and cheats in the outskirts of Liège. Keeping his word means betraying Roger, the only family Igor has, and the Dardenne brothers leave him no way to do both.
