LOCKDOWN
Belgium - 2020
Gilles Coulier & Maarten Moerkerke

Season 1 - 12x10' | International Premiere

In Flemish & French with French & English subtitles
Ep. 1 & 8

Synopsis
In Lockdown the setting, the visiting room of a prison, is indirectly a reflection on the situation of quarantine and social distancing. The series has 12 self-contained stories, each lasting 10 minutes. Crime is not central, but rather feelings of loneliness, love, hope, powerlessness and desire.

Note from the artistic direction
If Lockdown is one the most fascinating and disturbing anthology series of the year, it is probably because of its main character: a prison parlour with a glass pane. Fascinating because one can identify oneself easily to most situations.
