A Belgian king Nicholas III hears during a state visit to Turkey that Wallonia has become independent. What follows is a hilarious journey by the king and his entourage through the Balkans, reflecting all possible (cultural) clichés.

Peter Brosens (1962) is known for his Mongolia Trilogy. Jessica Woodworth (1971) holds degrees in literature from Princeton and documentary filmmaking from Stanford. Their production company Bo Films is based in Ghent.
