Benoît Poelvoorde is a Belgian actor, comedian, and filmmaker, born on September 22, 1964, in Namur, Belgium. He first gained recognition with the cult film C'est arrivé près de chez vous (1992), a darkly comedic mockumentary where he played a serial killer with unsettling charm. This film launched his career and established his unique blend of humor and intensity. Throughout the late 1990s and 2000s, Poelvoorde became a staple of Franco-Belgian cinema, starring in comedies like Les Randonneurs (1997), Le Vélo de Ghislain Lambert (2001), and Podium (2004), where he portrayed an obsessive Claude François impersonator—a role that earned him a César nomination. His versatility allowed him to transition into more dramatic roles, such as Entre ses mains (2005) and Coco avant Chanel (2009), where he starred alongside Audrey Tautou. In recent years, Poelvoorde has continued to balance absurdist comedy (Au poste !, Fumer fait tousser) with auteur-driven projects (Le Tout Nouveau Testament, Saint-Amour). His ability to oscillate between slapstick humor and introspective performances makes him one of the most distinctive actors in European cinema

Nowadays, in Belgium, deep in the thick Ardenne forest, a beast, more huge and dangerous than all those usually living in these woods, has recently devastated an old abandoned pigsty. A French tourist couple found themselves trapped in the woods after their vehicle was hit by the creature which was defending itself against poachers before fleeing. To survive, and hopefully regain civilization while deep in the woods, the couple has no choice but to follow the surviving poachers. They intend to make trophies like no other thanks to the largest wild boar ever discovered... or rather the biggest sow, and not just any of it : the Crommyonian sow. After being recently freed from the underworld, this creature a little larger, and much more powerful, than an African elephant, with tusks that could destroy any metal, took shelter in the corner. It's obvious that her family will soon come looking for her, but she clearly won't need them to show these hunters that if there's one trophy anyone can't have, it's her !
