Synopsis
Three starkly different people deal with the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Brussels in May 2016. A Flemish doctor, whose son is a fighter jet pilot on a mission in the Middle East, is forced to confront his loneliness. A young man from Algerian descent is asked by his brother to do him a deceivingly simple favour. An Italian woman, who works in the heart of the European Institutions, is slowly losing control under the pressure of her demanding life. The same question that seems to haunt the city, looms over their lives, where do we go from here?

« A slow, poetic study of lost souls adrift in a European metropolis. »

Screen International

« [Hellhole] is a challenging experimental tone poem that's almost as much an art installation as a narrative feature. »

The Hollywood Reporter

« A cinema of vision, masterfully delivered by the film’s chief operator, Nicolas Karakatsanis »
