Moscow, Belgium

Moscow, or ‘Moscou’ in Flemish, is a densely populated working class neighbourhood on the outskirts of Ghent, Belgium. MATTY (41), mother of three, bumps her car into a truck on the parking lot of a super- market. JOHNNY (29) climbs down from the cabin. He is infuriated by the dent in his front bumper and yells at Matty. Although impressed by the accident, Matty fights back with sharp words. Their discussion turns into a row, and the police have to intervene. Matty goes home, the trunk of her car dancing up and down.
