Aggressive guy
Theo é um miúdo de 12 anos cheio de talento que joga num clube de futebol local. Tem grandes hipóteses de vir a ser profissional, mas também tem um pai que entrou numa espiral de autodestruição desde que se divorciou e começou a beber, o que o deixa ansioso e impotente. Theo recusa-se a desistir dele e quando chama a atenção de um olheiro de um clube inglês importante, vê aí uma oportunidade de dar um objetivo e alguma esperança ao pai. No entanto, e apesar do esforço, Theo não é selecionado o que o leva a mentir ao pai, na esperança de o deixar feliz e orgulhoso, o que, de facto, acontece. Empenhado em ajudar o filho a agarrar “uma oportunidade única”, Laurent recupera o gosto pela vida e passa a acreditar no futuro feliz. Mas a mentira atinge proporções demasiado grandes e Theo perde o seu controlo…

Eve is an emergency medical technician who falls in love with Damien (Sagamore Stévenin), a handsome and caring man who runs a neighborhood bar in the Belgian countryside. When Damien and Eve become a couple, she joins him in looking after the bar and becomes friendly with the regular customers, but things take an unexpected turn when Eve is in a serious auto accident. While Eve walks away with no serious physical injuries, she's emotionally ravaged by the experience, and develops a severe speech impediment. Eve's new stutter makes it hard for her to communicate with Damien and she becomes the butt of jokes from the customers. Eve is increasingly isolated and Damien takes up with another woman until Eve retaliates by trapping him in their home and forces him to re-establish the building blocks of their relationship, starting with their sexual communication. Meanwhile, Eve's struggle to speak is contrasted with one of the tavern's annual events, an animal calling contest.
