Moscow, Belgium 2008


Moscow, Belgium (2008)     Matty is a 41 year old homemaker in Belgium.  She goes to the supermarket with her two younger children, Fien and Peter.  She loads the groceries into the trunk of her car and just as she is about to drive away, she is hit in the back by a large truck.  The driver is Johnny, he is a professional driver and is the owner of his own truck.  There is a shouting match between Matty and Johnny until the police come to handle the accident.  Matty is having a difficult time because her teacher husband has recently left her for one of his students.  Johnny feels terrible that he was the cause of more problems for Matty.
