Dir. Bas Devos. 2023, 85 mins. Belgium. DCP. In Dutch, French, Romanian, and Mandarin with English subtitles. With Stefan Gota, Liyo Gong, Nanna Voss. Bas Devos’s hushed, graceful portrait of an immigrant construction worker wandering gently through his final days in Brussels before returning to visit his mother in Romania is one of the most good-natured and moving films in recent years. The story is touchingly, delightfully simple: Stefan makes a large pot of soup, gives out Tupperware leftovers to friends, finishes up odd jobs, takes his car in to be fixed . . . and then makes the acquaintance of a woman named Shuxiu, a Belgian Chinese bryologist studying local moss for her doctorate. From such a simple set-up, Devos has constructed a profound film about human connection amidst the realities of our increasingly globalized world.
