film profile] came out in Belgian movie theatres this week. It is Sylvestre Sbille’s first feature film, produced by Panache Productions. Joe, a real-estate broker, 40, is as charming as he is irritating. He is able to sell a small house for the price of a castle, but is a disaster when it comes to love. Owner of a large country house, he hates his elderly neighbour, her crumbling house, her unkempt garden, her large hoard of animals. All of these are obstacles for his great fantasy to build a golf course in his own back yard. Exasperated, Joe decides to go down to the source of his neighbour’s well. Things will take an unexpected turn, and the old lady will be as bitter as ever.

What starts as a satirical story on people with neither religion nor law becomes a kind of Walloon survival movie, which ends in a duel between two people standing behind closed doors, with equal-sized egos. Much of the narration happens at the bottom of the well and the plot moves forward as Joe reveals more. The 100% Belgian cast includes Jonathan Zaccaï and stage actress Ben Riga, and in the roles of colleagues Laurent Capelluto, David Murgia and Tania Garbarski. The film is co-produced by André Logie for Panache Productions (co-producer of Little White Lies [+see also:
