Dry Cleaned by Joris Mertens
Set in a rain-slicked 1970s European city, Dry Cleaned follows François, a solitary dry-cleaning delivery driver trapped in a daily routine who dreams of winning the lottery to improve the life of a local newsagent and her daughter. A routine call to a country mansion leads him to a disturbing discovery that forces him to decide whether to break from the life he’s always known. It’s a moody, atmospheric noir about quiet desperation and the ripple effects of a single impulsive choice.
