Cleo is the story of a 17-year-old girl who survives a serious road accident. Her parents did not have that chance. After this fatal night, she gets lost in Brussels and takes refuge with Leos, a mysterious man older than her. Cleo's father was a renowned pianist, and the girl has been playing since a very young age. If Cleo likes to listen to contemporary music, it is the piano (and especially the work of Rachmaninov) that is at the heart of her reconstruction process.
Principal photography on the film began on 24 January 2018 and lasted til 9 March 2018 in Belgium. [4]
Cools won the Visser-Neerlandia Prize in 2016 for the film's script. [5] [6] Cools' debut film Cleo won the Alice MyMovies Award at the Italian Alice Nella Città film festival. [7]
