Recap

Armande Pigeon is the queen of shenanigans. In Brussels, she struggles to make ends meet because she can’t stop gambling on everything, always ending up on the wrong side of luck.

Lenny Guit, Harpo Guit

Like the Lumière brothers, the Dalton brothers, and the Grimm brothers, Lenny and Harpo Guit are brothers. In the 2010s, they went to university in Belgium and made a number of self-produced short films, including Nathalie F*** You All (2016), La semaine est encore longue (2016), and Radio Kiff (2018). Their first feature film, Mother Schmuckers, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2021.
