Hop is the acclaimed 2002 Belgium drama from director Dominique Standaert. Belgium's first feature film shot on HDCAM, the picture is really two films that are patched together in the same movie. The first third of the movie depicts two undocumented immigrants from Burundi who live in Brussels. Dieudonn', (Ansou Diedhiou) and his son Justin, (Kalomba Mboyi) have a quiet - if marginalized - life in a working-class neighborhood. It's clear that father and son love and respect each other, and that they're both intelligent and resourceful human beings. Through a series of unfortunate circumstances, Dieudonn' is arrested, and Justin ends up living with an alcoholic anarchist - Frans (played by Jan Declair) and his housekeeper, Gerda (Antje de Boeck). The interactions among the three are complex and interesting. At this point the plot moves in a different direction, and becomes essentially a caper film - can this unlikely trio actually free the boy's father from imprisonment and deportation.MORE[EDIT]
