Lockdown brings twelve independent short stories, directed by twelve top Flemish directors and with a strong cast. Each story takes place in the same setting: the visiting room of a prison. Two characters, each on one side of the glass in the visiting room that separates them - but also their world.
The short film series thus became a surprising mix of different genres such as drama, comedy and thriller. The idea came from directors Gilles Coulier and Maarten Moerkerke, who both directed an episode, alongside Michaël R. Roskam, Kaat Beels, Frederike Migom, Jan Eelen, Dorothée Van Den Berghe and Robin Pront, among others. With, among others, Matthias Schoenaerts, Josse De Pauw, Peter Van den Begin, Tine Embrechts, Maaike Neuville and Veerle Baetens, the makers have brought together the crème de la crème of the Flemish acting world for the series.
