Kouté vwa is the debut feature film by Maxime Jean-Baptiste, touching on themes of family grief and trauma under lingering colonial violence. After its world premiere at Locarno Film Festival, the film will have its Belgian premiere at Film Fest Gent.
The pessimistic howl of the megalopolis, which tracks the wanderings of a tormented man in the port city of Antwerp through strongly expressionistic imagery. He can only count on the understanding of an orphan and two disillusioned women.
