Suspect
Suspect was released last year in its native Belgium, but now it looks like it’s about to travel a bit further afield. And deservedly so.
Sandy (Zoe De Roovere) and her mentally disabled brother Jimmy (Elias Mentzel) live with their mother Nell (Karlijn Sileghem) and their stepfather Rob (Gene Bervoets). Sandy refuses to accept Rob as a father figure and when he puts her dog, the only living memory of her natural father to sleep, Sandy begins to isolate herself even further.
She soon finds comfort with Lydia (Ellen Ten Damme) a former social worker. Not long after their friendship begins, Sandy confides to Lydia about her nightmares, which all allude to sexual elements and centre on her stepfather. Lydia proclaims loudly that Sandy is yet another victim of sexual abuse.
As a result, Rob becomes the subject in a whole series of accusations and the public opinion grows increasingly convinced of his guilt. Suddenly Rob gets thrust into a public and media circus. But is Sandy really the victim or is she just a pawn in a series of events gone completely out of control.
