Edition 2015

Ne Me Quitte Pas

Bob and Marcel share loneliness, a sense of humor, and an addiction to alcohol. Isolated in the middle of the woods near the Belgian border, they come to the conclusion that suicide is the best way out when everything else has gone under. Bob is a retired cowboy who adores the freedom in his woods. Marcel is about to get divorced and struggles to maintain his family, which is slipping through his fingers. In a place where time seems to have stopped, drink is the best remedy to kill time at the edge of society. When Marcel decides to give up alcohol, Bob refuses to sign up to the rehab program with him. A true homage to failure which talks about life and death with comforting honesty and a tragicomic tone.
