When It Melts

This suspenseful psychological drama for adults, which has won major awards at prestigious film festivals such as Sundance (for actress Rosa Marchant), Sao Paulo and Gothenburg, skilfully unfolds through flashbacks in two different time periods. One follows teenager Eva (played by Rosa Marchant) as she grows up in a small village and approaches adulthood with a mixture of joy, loneliness and heartbreak. The other time period takes place 13 years later and shows Eva as an adult (played by Charlotte De Bruyne) who realises that she must return home to face the traumas of her past in order to regain the chance of a fulfilling future. A tough, bold and uncompromising debut that represents the latest outburst of ever-vibrant Belgian cinema.
