Trio

Wim is an accountant who keeps to himself. He would rather spend his birthday at home in front of the television. His half brother Gert visits him once a month. This time he brings a present with him: an escort named Lise. Lise’s arrival sets something unexpected moving in Wim. Gert is taken with her too, and an odd bond forms between the three of them. The film neither mocks that bond nor makes it romantic. The story is adapted from a play the three of them performed together. Ruth Beeckmans, Matteo Simoni and Bruno Vanden Broecke both act in and direct this Belgian film of 2019.
