Eldorado

Yvan, a short-tempered man in his forties, sells old American cars. His life isn’t much of a thrill. However, when he surprises Elie breaking into his house one night, he doesn‘t beat him up. Quite the opposite: he develops a strange affection for the adolescent and even decides to drive him back to his parents. This trip will lead them through broad spaces of Belgium filled with improbable characters, and might help Yvan close a chapter of his life forever.
