After working a late shift at her cleaning job, Khadija falls asleep on the last subway home. When she wakes up at the end of an empty line, she begins her long journey back, down the quiet nocturnal streets of Brussels. Though she meets a variety of strangers along the way, including a homeless man, a gas station clerk, and her own daughter, Khadija spends most of the night in silent solitude, observing her surroundings. As Khadija’s odyssey unfolds, more of her character is revealed to the audience in a slow drip. Beautifully minimalistic, GHOST TROPIC’s unhurried pace allows the viewer to enter an almost meditative state. Both the commitment to realism and attention to detail are a breath of fresh air, and they make for a profoundly compelling viewing experience. Highlighting the unobserved beauty in a city after hours, GHOST TROPIC is poetry on film. (In French with subtitles) — G.S.
