Cleo is an upcoming Belgian drama film directed and written by Eva Cools, her first feature-length film.[1][2]

Background

Cools funded the film via crowdsourcing, with additional support from the Flemish Audiovisual Fund and Screen Brussels.[2][3]

Plot

CLEO is the story of a 17-year-old girl who survives a serious road accident. Her parents did not have that chance. After this fatal night, she gets lost in Brussels and takes refuge with Leos, a mysterious man older than her. Cleo's father was a renowned pianist, and the girl has been playing since a very young age. If Cleo likes to listen to contemporary music, it is the piano (and especially the work of Rachmaninov) that is at the heart of her reconstruction process.
