Two people meet again after more than 50 years. Once they were a couple, but their lives took them along different paths. She married his best friend, he married another woman. Now, they are both single again and meet once more. Is it possible to rekindle a love you left behind so long ago? A huge hit in Belgium, this romantic drama was co-produced by the Dardenne brothers, and marks the narrative feature debut for Cecelia Verheyden, who at 31 is less than half the age of her old romantics here...

"As a director, you only get to make one first feature, so you have to be very sure of the story you want to share with the audience. Behind the Clouds is a beautiful love story. Age doesn't enter into it. Doubts and anxiety about love affect all age groups. I immediately knew I wanted to do this film, not least to do away with my own prejudices and those of the many others who doubtless share them." Cecilia Verheyden
