Customer Reviews

True Belgian spirit in this film
This film is a real beauty. The story enscenates typical Belgian persons in a typical Belgian multicultural environment. It is about a former '68 anarchist who helps a young African boy to recover his father who was unduly sent back to Africa because of not holding valid identity papers. The language is beautifully typical of the Brussels surroundings, with a mixture of Dutch and French, all with the local accents.
I am sure that any Belgian now overseas will get tears in the eyes by looking and listening at this film.
Jan Decleir is an exceptional Belgian actor. His partners in the film are all perfectly credible and discovering what exactly is "the hop" is a surprise worth bying this DVD.

Quel beau film!
If you love French (or Dutch)and you love character films which have a CLEAN message, buy this one. This film is not an action film, yet there is suspense, humor, and great insights into human nature. There are English subtitles.
