A Place of Our Own

Director: Max Blomaard
Percy and Otis wander through Belgium – one is homeless, the other is looking for freedom. But then Otis makes a cryptic phone call, and Percy’s trust starts to waver.
In this short black-and-white film, Percy (22) and Otis (25) jointly wander through the streets and across rural Belgium. Both for different reasons: Percy is involuntarily roof- and homeless, Otis has an insatiable appetite for freedom. But when Otis makes a cryptic phone call late at night, Percy's unconditional trust starts to crumble. What ensues is a trip full of doubt, revelation and an elusive search for shared understanding. A trip that gives you the feeling you are accompanying the twosome. Graduation project from the Brussels media and theatre school RITCS.
