Overview

Comedy

The Barons have a motto: "slack off more to live longer." Every human being is born with a credit of steps. Every step you take brings you closer to death. We Barons know this from the start.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Shot in Molenbeek before it became global shorthand for terrorism, capturing a specific pre-2015 Brussels working-class Moroccan-Belgian experience rarely seen on screen.

Trivia

The 'step philosophy' was improvised in rehearsals; Ben Yadir built the entire film around this dumb-brilliant idea his actors invented.
