At a bar called Belgica, customers are dancing like mad to the awesome sounds of Soulwax, while adrenaline and cocaine are fuelling the nights. And, yet, this pumped-up, nocturnal movie also considers what happens when the music stops and takes a good, hard look into people’s souls.
Synopsis
Two very different brothers. The younger one had artistic ambitions, but ended up the owner of a dilapidated bar called Belgica. The older brother has a wife who is expecting their second child and a steady job, but his monotonous life bores him. When he decides to help his brother with the bar, they become the darlings of city nightlife. In reality, they are embarking on an addictive, dangerous journey and the world around them is spinning faster and faster.
