Winner of the Grand Prix at Cannes, The Kid with a Bike is a film by Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, directors of ‘The Child’ and ‘The Silence of Lorna’. Cyril (Thomas Doret), almost 12, has only one plan: to find the father (Jeremie Renier) who left him temporarily in a children’s home. By chance he meets Samantha (Cecile de France), who runs a hairdressing salon and agrees to let him stay with her at weekends. Cyril doesn’t recognize the love Samantha feels for him, a love he desperately needs to calm his rage.
