From his retirement home, Thomas looks back on his life. He is obsessed with the idea he was swapped at birth with his neighbor Alfred. Believing the wealthy and privileged Alfred has lived the life he should have had, Thomas plots his revenge, imagining himself as a secret agent, Toto the Hero.
Winner of the Caméra d’Or at Cannes in 1991, this magical first feature by Belgian filmmaker Jaco van Dormael indulges in the flashbacks and fantasies of a mischievous old man. Colored with vivid shades of green, this underdog tale is an exorbitantly playful adventure into naivety, envy, and dreams.
