DEALER (2021)
Johnny (Sverre Rous) is a 14-year-old streetwise drug dealer with a complicated home life. Out one night in Antwerp he crosses paths with famous actor Antony (Ben Segers) and pockets his wallet. Apprehended by the cops, he is let off the hook by Antony who decides not to press charges but instead asks him to be his exclusive dealer.
