Siblings Tori and Lokita (Pablo Schils and Joely Mbundu) have undertaken a perilous journey from Africa to Belgium; in dire financial straits, they sell drugs for a petty crook to pay off a debt to the smuggler who brought them to Europe. Somehow Lokita must send money back home to her mother, too. Events spiral out of control when Lokita agrees to three months live-in work tending a cannabis farm, separating her from her brother. Urgent, propulsive, and dynamic, Tori and Lokita simmers with a quiet rage at the plight of its titular pair, representative figures for all of Europe’s at-risk migrants.
