Any Way the Wind Blows is a 2003 Belgian film directed by Tom Barman, the lead singer of the Belgian rockband dEUS. The film is set in Antwerp and follows the lives of several characters intertwining with each other. Thanks to its rock music, jazz, pop and electronica music soundtrack, the film has become a cult film. The theme song Summer's Here by Magnus was a hit at the time.
