Spoilers ahead
Monique Ingrid De Vos runs a brothel together with her daughter Sylvie Sara Vertongen and several other girls. Eline Esra Vandenbussche is Sylvie’s six-year-old daughter, and she is barred from the brothel, a forbidden area for her, but on her birthday she slips inside. There she encounters a travestite, heard by voice and glimpsed in fragments of clothing, who abducts Eline and sexually assaults her. Eline is later found by Dirk Wim Willaert, a bus driver who is the father of Eline, though that fact must stay hidden and he is presented as Eline’s uncle since her birth.
