GODS OF MOLENBEEK

In the organizer's words:

Movie content:

"The greatest god in the world is God." - "But who is the head of all the gods in the world?" For Amine, whose family comes from Morocco, the question of God has long been answered. Not so for his friend Aatos, who comes from Finland and to whom Mercury, the messenger of the gods, regularly whispers things. The two friends grow up in the Brussels district of Molenbeek, in a very international Muslim neighborhood that is notorious as a breeding ground for Islamist terror. The attacks change the children's everyday lives - right down to their games. Told very closely and authentically, consistently from the perspective of the children, the film unfolds a world in which existential questions, light-heartedness and the tragedy of having to grow up in our time intermingle.
