The Day

A bank robbery shocks a small Flemish town. The robbers barricade themselves inside and hold a number of bank employees and customers hostage. The police arrive on the premises and try to contain the situation. Negotiations begin.

Dawn in a small Flemish town. Two robbers make their way to a bank branch, where they take staff members, one customer and two children hostage. The perpetrators then wait for the police to arrive to make clear their demands.

A shooting incident threatens to escalate the situation. Ivo wants to know what exactly is going on inside the bank; Ibrahim has a hard time negotiating; and Vos cannot stop thinking about her sick father.

The robbers press the hostages to get as much money as possible to a safe place, but not every hostage is willing to help. When the police take drastic action, it looks like things might get out of hand.

Vos is forced off the case against her will, but the affair keeps nagging at her. She is convinced something’s not quite right. Eventually, she makes a startling discovery that throws a new light on things.

One of the hostages clearly knows more about the situation, but the hostages seem to put their trust in one another. At the same time, the robbers get a surprise visit, while Susan faces a thorny dilemma.
