Jaco made his feature-length debut in 1991 with Toto The Hero, a tale about a man who believes his life was "stolen" from him when he was switched at birth. Toto The Hero gained wide critical acclaim, winning both the César Award for best foreign film and the Camera d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Jaco’s second feature film The Eighth Day is a story of a young man with Down syndrome, played by Pascal Duquenne, who lives in a mental institution and the unlikely relationship he forges with a businessman, played by Daniel Auteuil. Both actors won awards at Cannes for their performances, and the film was nominated for a Golden Globe among other awards. More recently, Jaco wrote and directed Mr. Nobody, starring Jared Leto, a surreal exploration of freewill as Nemo Nobody experiences different lives depending on what choices he made as a boy. Jaco’s films have some strong common themes between them. Jaco’s films make distinctive use of naive voiceover and examine the world from an innocent perspective. The films are often slightly surreal and potray death not as a tragedy, but as a happy moving on.
Krishna, dix ans, est abandonné par le cirque itinérant pour lequel il travaille et se retrouve à Bombay avec le rêve de gagner cinq cents roupies qu’il rapportera à sa mère dans son village natal. En ville, il est immédiatement submergé par la folie et la cacophonie : policiers à l'affût, vacarme de la circulation, trafic de drogue, traite de femmes, univers fantasmagorique du cinéma, et partout des enfants qui comme lui survivent et succombent, dévorés par la ville. Krishna débute au plus bas de la hiérarchie de la rue et devient Chaipu, ou celui-qui-porte-le-thé-et-le-pain. Au hasard de ses livraisons, il rencontrera des personnages qui finiront par changer sa vie : Chillum, impétueux vétéran de la rue âgé de vingt-cinq ans ; Baba, caïd lunatique qui vit avec la solide Rekha et leur petite fille de huit ans, Manju ; Solasaal, une jeune Népalaise à l’esprit rebelle vendue comme prostituée... Chaipu devient, sans le savoir lui-même, le catalyseur de leurs vies respectives jusqu’à ce que celles-ci se fondent en un étonnant dénouement.
