Manneken Pis is a 1995 Belgian comedy-drama film directed by Frank Van Passel and written by Christophe Dirickx. It premiered in May 1995 at the Cannes Film Festival. [1] It received the André Cavens Award for Best Film and four awards at the Joseph Plateau Awards. [2] The film was selected as the Belgian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 68th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee. [3] [4]
Every morning in Brussels, the orphan Harry, to go to wash the dishes, takes the tram driven by Jeanne who, by chance, lives in the same building: she is extroverted and cheerful, he is shy and clumsy, with a trauma behind him that prevents him from saying "I love you".
They attract and repel each other, dragged by a feeling that goes beyond everyday life, but drama is always lurking. [5]
