SEEKING A BETTER LIFE, LORNA (DOBROSHI) EMIGRATED FROM ALBANIA TO BELGIUM AFTER PAYING A JUNKIE (RENIER) TO marry her. She makes little money working at a dry cleaning shop, but nurtures the dream of some day owning a cafe. Then a gangster (Rongione) negotiates a large payday for Lorna and himself by promising a wealthy Russian emigrant Lorna will marry him. Lorna is willing until she learns Fabio’s plan includes murder.


Directed by Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne and starring Arta Dobroshi, Jeremie Renier, Fabrizio Rongione, Alban Ukaj and Morgan Marinne (In French, Albanian and Russian with English subtitles.)
