The Trade In Emotional Goods

Directed by Frank Tielemans

Luukas Kolibri is a trader in emotional goods. Together with his only employee, Geoffrey Raeymaekers, he clears out the homes of the deceased and gives their belongings a new purpose. But Luukas is struggling with a loss of his own: his girlfriend Elise has just passed away, and he finds it impossible to let go. As he begins collecting and holding onto her possessions, his grief slowly spirals into a dangerous obsession. Will Luukas be able to come to terms with Elise’s death, or will his fixation consume him entirely?
