Summaries

After a long day at work, Khadija falls asleep on the last subway train. When she wakes up at the end of the line, she has no choice but to make her way home on foot.

58-year-old Maghrebi cleaning woman Khadija (Saadia Bentaïeb) falls asleep on the last train home after a long evening at work. She awakens at the end of the line and has little choice but to make her way home on foot as Brussels sleeps, which gives Khadija a unique opportunity to become intimately acquainted with the beauty of the city she calls home. GHOST TROPIC made its world premiere as part of the Directors' Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival.—Mae Moreno
