Tori and Lokita

[5] Two African immigrants, eleven-year-old Tori and sixteen-year-old Lokita, live by their wits in a Belgian city, posing as brother and sister.

The two serve as musical performers at the restaurant of Betim, a man who uses his business to cover up a drug ring the two courier for, and sometimes pays Lokita for sexual favors.

Lokita is trying to obtain a work visa with which she can support both herself and Tori, but she also has to deal with the debt contracted with the people who brought her to Belgium and think about the mother and five brothers she left behind in Cameroon.

When Lokita's application papers are rejected again, she accepts Betim's offer to work for him for several months, locked up in a hangar tending cannabis plantations.

The site's critical consensus states: "Another humanistic gem from the Dardennes, Tori and Lokita puts its characters in heartbreaking circumstances while insisting on their intrinsic dignity.
