Directed by Bas Devos

Stefan, a Romanian construction worker living in Brussels, is on the verge of moving back home. He cooks up a big pot of soup with leftovers in his fridge, to hand out as a goodbye gift to friends and family. As he is ready to go, he meets a Belgian-Chinese young woman who works in a little restaurant while preparing a doctorate on mosses. 

Her attention for the near-invisible stops Stefan in his tracks. Can a lucky encounter change his fate? 

Marked by a striking pictorial approach and a contagious humanism, Here pushes us to see the things – and the people – we didn’t previously notice. 

"A movie of quiet magnificence that feels spun of gossamer summer light and rooted in unshakeable depths."

The Hollywood Reporter
