After a job gone wrong, two hit men (Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson) hide in touristy Bruges, Belgium, where their boss (Ralph Fiennes) comes gunning for them.

After a particularly difficult job, hit men Ray (Colin Farrell) and Ken (Brendan Gleeson) head to Belgium to hide out until things cool down. Ray hates the medieval city they land in, but Ken finds its beauty and peacefulness enchanting. Their experiences become increasingly surreal and possibly life-changing as they encounter tourists, locals, an American dwarf and a potential romance for Ray.
