TOTO THE HERO
A Jaco Van Dormael Film
‘Stylish and original’ Empire
Festival de Cannes - Caméra D'Or
Convinced that a nursery fire lead to them being mixed
up as babies, Thomas has been consumed with jealous hatred for his wealthy and successful neighbour Alfred, the man he believes stole the life that should have been his. And now, an old man, he reflects on the past, the tragedies of his own life and his thoughts turn to vengeance.
Skilfully cutting between past and present, comedy and tragedy, Van Dormael’s poignant, dreamlike film won numerous awards and has been hailed as a true original.
