Stefan, a Romanian construction worker living in Brussels, is on the verge of moving back home. From the left overs in his fridge, he cooks up a big pot of soup as a goodbye gift to friends and family. Just as he is ready to go, he meets a young Belgian-Chinese woman who helps her aunt in a little restaurant while preparing for a doctorate on mosses, and a tentative friendship emerges. Bas Devos has crafted a film rooted in the practice of what it simply means to be present, finding connection as an immigrant with people and places. It is a film that blurs the boundaries between dreams and reality, creating a work of uncommon warmth, delicacy, and true wonder.
