Rodica (40) and her children, Maria (14) and Patrick (18), are Romanian expats living in Belgium. Their everyday life centers on finding each other’s coordinates in order to live a balanced family life. Through a gentle, minimalist approach, the camera is nearby the protagonists, when they are alone, when they are together, focusing on their attempts to communicate with each other, on their silences, on the weight of their bodies. Blue is a film about love, fear, anxiety, and the emotions that emerge at their intersection.

Film Details

Rodica (40) is a simple woman who works as a maid and does her best to give her children a future in Belgium. Their daily life follows a routine and the three of them are trying to find a balance together, which at first seems fragile. The boy wants to give up his studies and make money, the girl wants nothing more than to play video games and sleep. With a minimalist approach, the camera approaches this family of expats without being intrusive, exploring their moods, emotions and silences in moments when any way of communication seems almost impossible.
