Robin Pront

As a Belgian citizen of semi-Dutch heritage, Robin Pront is know for his straightforward and no-nonsense style. He rose to prominence with his first short film PLAN B, a short film about the drug scene in Antwerp and its effects on the main characters. The film won the award for the best short at the Leuven Film Festival in 2008, as well as the Public´s Choice award. Having quickly made a name of himself, his next film, INJURY TIME, about football hooliganism starring BULLHEAD stars Mathias Schoenaerts and Jeroen Perceval, received high critical praise. INJURY TIME was his graduating film from the Sint-Lukas Academy in Brussels in 2010. It was selected for several national and international festivals and won prizes in Brussels and Ghent.

Synopsis.

Brothers Dave and Kenneth are reunited on Kenneth´s release after four years in prison following a failed home invasion. While Kenneth is anxious to dive headfirst into the drug-centered existence that ensnared him in the first place, both Dave and Kenneth´s erst while girlfriend Sylvie, have adopted clean lifestyles. Drugs, crime and the bonds of brotherhood create this dark crime thriller journey in The Ardennes.
