Directed by Michaël R. Roskam ('Bullhead', 'The Drop'), 'Racer and the Jailbird' is a fast-paced, high octane thriller set against the backdrop of a brutal crime gang in Brussels. When Gino (Matthias Schoenaerts, 'Far From the Madding Crowd') meets Bénédicte (Adèle Exarchopoulos, 'Blue is the Warmest Colour'), it’s love at first sight, passionate, unconditional, fiery. She is working in the family business, and she also drives cars on circuits. Gino is that kind of normal guy, cool, handsome... but he hides a secret. The kind of secret that can endanger your life and the lives of those around you. Gino and Bénédicte will have to fight against fate, reason and their own weaknesses to save their love.
