Known for directing quirky dramedies such as Mannekin Pis and Villa des Roses and producing The Brand New Testament, writer-director Frank Van Passel brings his unique sensibility to portray the team at a Brussels radio station on the eve of the German invasion of Belgium in 1940. This tragi-comic look at the crossed destinies of a youthful sound engineer and a talented Jewish actress affirms the human capacity for invention. –Alissa Simon
