This is just pure Belgian nostalgia about old times when everything was much less complicated and people were more close to each other than nowadays. Everything back then evolved around the many local pubs which have become extinct by now. Social life was all about the local community. Nowadays people don't belong to a community anymore

The cast is perfection and unfortunately most of them are not alive anymore.

If you are a Belgian and have never seen this: shame on you!

Dutch cinema often combines understated realism with offbeat humor, tackling moral ambiguity and social change. It balances intimate storytelling with bold, sometimes provocative, visual styles. Dutch films combine art-house sensibility with grounded storytelling, reflecting the country's open, yet quietly complex culture.
