Synopsis by Mark Deming
A pair of misfits on the wrong side of the law fall in love in this offbeat independent drama from Belgium. Steve (Titus De Voogdt) thinks he's having a good night when he meets a beautiful woman named Sky (Delfine Bafort) at a nightclub, but he forced to reconsider that opinion moments later when he manages to get busted for selling ecstasy. While in jail, Steve becomes friendly with Jean-Claude (Johan Heldenbergh), a philosophical sort who is confined to a wheelchair. After he's released, Steve goes to work for Jean-Claude, helping out at his strip club, only to run into Sky again; it seems she makes her living as a stripper and turns tricks when finances demand it, and has a close friendship with Jean-Claude. Steve and Sky soon fall for one another, but Steve becomes curious about the true nature of her relationship with Jean-Claude. Steve + Sky was the first feature film from writer and director Felix Van Groeningen.
