Devos' premise about a middle-aged Muslim office cleaner (Saadia Bentaïeb) making her way home through Brussels late at night after falling asleep on the subway might seem like an opportunity for a tense, Dardenne-Bros-style exploration of the lives of marginalized people; instead, it’s an ode to one woman's curiosity and the strange beauty and openness found after-hours.
