Toto the Hero

Directed by Jaco Van Dormael

Written by Laurette Vankeerberghen, Pascal Lonhay, Jaco Van Dormael, Didier De Neck

80-year-old Thomas recounts his childhood and middle age through a series of flashbacks and dream sequences. Thomas believes he’s been taken away from a better life at birth; following a hospital fire, he vividly recalls being swapped with another new-born, and subsequently grows up in a poorer neighbouring household.
