This film is inspired by true events

What do you think is going to happen if you continue like this?

Dunno. I can't predict the future.

What made you think it was funny to say Mr. Verheyen has children in his basement?

What's funny about that for God's sake? - I wasn't being serious.

It was just for laughs. - You really meant to be funny?

You really think that's funny? - I was just being silly.

So you thought all your friends would laugh if you told this about Mr. Verheyen?

It didn't make me laugh... Nor him or his wife.

On the contrary, it's a very sensitive subject.

If you don't agree I can arrange for a meeting

between your teacher and parents so you can explain them.

I don't want this to happen again. Especially in my school.

Do you understand?

I'm giving you a detention.

Why? - I'm amazed you dare to ask.

I didn't do anything wrong. Everybody says stuff like that.

I would like you to listen to me. You deserve this punishment.

I'm not exaggerating. We're talking about insulting teachers here.

But I didn't do anything. - You're crossing the line.

Just prove me... - I can speak my opinion, can't I?

Just show me how mature you are by accepting your punishment.

But it's so fucking unfair. - First of all...

I didn't do anything, everybody says stuff like that.

First of all I don't want you to say 'fucking'.

Secondly, you've been rude. You insulted him and hurt his feelings.

You're punished so don't make it worse. - But I'm not the only one saying it.

Just don't make it worse, please.

Why am I the only one being punished? What's with that?

Because you're the only one saying stuff like that.

That's not true.

Well, you're the only one sitting here. - Yes, clearly.

You've been rude and that's why you're punished.

Don't make it worse.

Okay.

There you go.

Personally I think we've achieved something.

We had a conversation. Like an adult you've admitted you were wrong.

Yes.

Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Please look at me when you say that.

Lina, do you understand?

Yes, sir. - You can go.

Well, well... What are we doing?

I need to check something real quick.

You know it's not allowed to hang about. - Yes, I know.

You have no reason to be here and you know it's not allowed.

I just need to send something. - Just send something?

It's important. I'll be ready right away.

It's forbidden to be in the hallway without a reason.

I want you to go to your classroom right now or I'll take you to the principal.

Two seconds and I'll be ready.

Two seconds? I want you to go to your classroom right now.

What the fuck, man. Chill out. - Your name and grade?

What the fuck? - You calm down, okay!

What are you guys doing there? - We had to go to the library.

Then go to the library!

I miss you. Will you come home soon? Mom.

You still love me?

I will come home right after school. I still love you.

Sorry, mom.

Luka! Get me along rolling paper. - Yeah, chill, it's coming.

You have some tobacco as well?

Why don't you just take it all? - Thanks.

Can I use your lighter, pumpkin? - No, fuck off.

What a drag, here!

Could you call my phone?

Can you feel it? - No.

It's ringing.

Hello? Jessica?

For real? Does she have my phone?

Yeah, she hung up.

Fucking cunt.

I heard someone say 'hello' and it was Jessica.

Tony Hawk.

Tony Hawk!

Weed from Baghdad. - Very cool.

Do even cooler, make rings.

Very pretty.

Does it work? - Yes. Can I have the wrench?

You need this one? - Yes.

Let me hold this.

Hey, sis.

You okay? - Yes, sure.

Have you decided about Kevin yet?

Did you come all the way for that?

You could've just called me. - I know.

I'd like to talk it through with Willem once more.

Of course, I understand but...

He's getting out in two weeks... - That soon...

Do you immediately need a place for him to stay?

That's probably for the better.

I think it's best for him to know where he can go.

Kevin is a good boy, you know?

When he's in good hands

he really is a good boy.

It's just not possible at home right now.

Let's go for it.

We just have to go for it.

Honey, can you do it quickly?

Well? - No. I have to go.

No, really. - You can't leave me like a horny toad.

I really have to go. - It'll be quick.

That's how it'll be.

I swear. Please, honey.

I swear I'll be fast.

Fast fast? - I promise.

That made me tired.

There you go. This is our little home.

Willem? - Yes?

Kevin's here.

Hi.

Welcome. All fine? - Yes.

Do you still recognize Willem?

You're looking sharp. - Huh?

I said you're looking sharp. - Thank you.

Sammy?

Yes? - There's Sammy.

Kevin's here. - Hey, man.

Mom, Lina's going. - Bye, Lina.

It's been quite a while.

Yes, it's been a long time.

Have you seen my phone?

There you go. This is your room.

I hope you like it.

I know it's a bit awkward to stay in the basement,

but we didn't have any other solution.

Are you going to unpack first or explore the house?

So you know where to find everything. - I'll unpack first.

Okay.

Take your time.

Hey. Lina says you're Sammy's cousin.

Yes. - Do you know where Sammy is?

No.

Do you need a ride by any chance? - No I'm fine.

Don't you work as a plumber for your uncle?

Yes, as an apprentice. - Chill. Okay man, later.

I'll see you around.

Wait. You need to...

push this one down and...

then you can move this one up.

When you want to find out what is where, you need to look at these numbers.

Number 600 you can find here.

You can go ahead and take it.

The rest is self-explanatory.

Put everything in there.

If you have any more questions you can find me in the store.

Okay.

Excuse me? - I can't even hear the clients.

Since when do you clean with this machine?

Who made that decision? - My boss.

Has he ever been here? This thing is way too big.

I don't know. My boss told me to clean with this machine.

You can't even do the bathrooms, you can't clean properly.

Look at where you've been, there is a stain on the floor.

It's way too big and cumbersome for the store.

I will do the edges by hand and the rest with the machine.

No! Out of the question. No machines.

You know that kind of people that put up a Christmas tree

and six months later it's still there?

Hi, John. - Hi.

It's the same at my house. - Are you staying for dinner?

There's plenty, so no problem.

Sure. I could ask. - Why don't you check if it's ok?

I'll be right back.

His mom probably won't let him.

As usual. His mom wears the pants.

I bought roasted chicken, is that alright?

Not alright? - Sure.

Boredom.

I want to kill someone to feel alive.

Well? - She prefers for me to eat at home.

For me it's the same. - Yes, I know. Thank you.

Are you going to do something fun later? - We're going to the parking lot.

The parking lot? Are you making fun of me? - No.

It's hard to understand for someone your age.

Is that a night club?

It's just the supermarket's parking lot. We go there to hang out. It's fun.

I need to go actually.

See you later.

Sonja, see you next time. - Next time, kid.

I told you not to use that product.

Do you do that just to annoy me?

Are you wearing that t-shirt?

I mean, it's nice but isn't that a stain on your collar?

Shouldn't you change?

If you want me to.

Why don't you go take a bath? When was the last time?

Yesterday.

I didn't know that.

Why didn't you put a clean t-shirt then?

I don't need a fresh t-shirt every day, do I?

Isn't that normal? I didn't raise you to be dirty, did I?

Stop scratching! Do you have scabies?

You'd better go wash yourself. That's probably why you're scratching.

Stop it and go fill the bath.

You stink. - I don't want to take a bath.

Go take a bath.

Don't look like that.

You're so cute together.
