In Spring 1999, Luc and Geert, two Belgian entrepreneurs, learn that their structure of fake companies is going to be exposed in the international press. An emergency board meeting is held. The end of their reign is announced. Evidence needs shredding and discretion is expected. Tomorrow morning, the police will be at the door.
Luc, the technical genius, retreats to his villa where his wife seems to be in on everything. They spend their final Sunday together: calling investors, having sex for the first and last time in a while. Geert, the salesman, enjoys the intimacy of his lover and driver. Will he make a run for it? In the middle of the night, he visits his sister’s bakery. She also invested in the company, so he reveals nothing. The loss of the shares will be devastating for her.
At dawn they are back in the office before the police. They meet in the lavatory, dirty, without shoes, power or freedom. At the end of their long day’s journey through the night, a sparkle of light appears.
