Plot
A man (Julien Schoenaerts, Matthias Schoenaerts’s father) is seen wandering around in Antwerp, avoiding all contact with other people. He is penniless and desperately wants to leave the country, but can't pay for his enshipment. The only people who like him are the boatman's wife (Tine Balder), a prostitute (Dora van der Groen) and a little orphan girl called Gigi (Gisèle Peeters). Gradually but surely it becomes clear why he is hiding and why he needs to flee.
