A conflicted love-letter to a city and a woman in constant states of self-renewal. Crafting a psychologically intense drama that reveals three moments in a woman's life, director Tom Heene's haunting debut combines intimacy, eroticism, and brutally raw emotions to depict a portrait of a city and a people in a state of flux. Lila returns home from a long journey. While on the bus from the airport, she meets an Iranian visiting Brussels for the first time in forty years and commits to helping him on his pilgrimage through the city he no longer recognizes. When Lila is reunited with her boyfriend, a whirlwind of emotions is unleashed, and the two are locked in a psychological and physical battle that vibrates with tension. Later, when Lila is confronted with a group of young, self-centered "Eurocrats," the game changes completely with unexpected results.
