Antoine, 25, quit his job. His suburban lower middle-class family always treats him like an idiot, so he pretends he is still employed. When his younger brother gets a free BMW from his company, Antoine is galvanized. He, too, wants to be appreciated.

He applies for managerial jobs but fails at every interview. Getting hired is much harder than he thought, so he starts lying, plunging ever deeper in a web of anguish and desperation... His efforts will uncover other lies, rupturing the very foundations of his family.

Tom Geens is Belgian and moved to London in 1993. Very much a self-educated filmmaker who through a combination of acting, advertising and writing ended up making short after short. With not bad results, winning prizes for several of them. MENTEUR (2009) is his first feature (selected in more than 15 international festivals, including Karlovy Vary).
