Film: Real Faces

Julia, 29 years old, is an ambitious casting agent who moves to Brussels after a breakup. Behind a facade of success and self-confidence, she hides her deepest insecurities. She meets Eliott, 32 years old, a withdrawn microbiologist on the verge of leaving for Greenland for lichen research. Despite their opposite worlds, an unexpected friendship develops. When Wanneer Julia gets the “job” of her life - a perfume commercial -, the tension rises: a wonderful opportunity? Yes, but also a path to her own downfall. In the multicultural, urban Brussels, she faces a choice: continue living in a role, or finally live for herself. A subtle Belgian debut by Leni Huyghe about intimacy, self-discovery and the power of a human connection that changes everything. She wrote the screenplay together with Vincent Vanneste. ''De Belgische film Real faces is a beautifully filmed love letter to Brussels, friendship and lichens.'' *** - De Standaard 93 MIN / BELGIUM / 2026 / 12+ DIRECTOR LENI HUYGHE CAST YOANN BLANC, LEONIE BUYSSE, JOELY MBUNDU, GORGES OCLOO, KARLIJN SILLEGHEM
