Oleg, a young Latvian butcher, arrives in Brussels in the hope of getting a better salary in a meat factory. His experience turns short after being betrayed by a colleague. Alone in a country where he doesn’t belong, he quickly falls under the yoke of Andrzej, a Polish criminal.

VIBE

A stark and unflinching look at the harsh realities faced by an immigrant. It's a slow descent into desperation, where hope dwindles under the weight of exploitation and moral decay. The atmosphere is thick with dread and a profound sense of isolation.
