Felix Van Groeningen has just kicked off the shoot for his fifth feature film, Belgica. The movie follows the story of two brothers who, even though they have absolutely nothing in common, open a bar together that quickly becomes a regular hangout for nighthawks.

Despite this success, the two brothers must soon face up to the difficulties inherent in running a family business. Their brotherhood turns into rivalry, through no fault of their own. For Van Groeningen, this is a family story on two counts, as it is based on the story of his father, Jo Van Groeningen, who partook in the adventures of the Charlatan, a pub and concert venue that has occupied a legendary place in Ghent’s nightlife scene
