Κing of the Belgians

Κing of the Belgians

According to the road movie tradition, the heroes are usually underdogs who find redemption as they travel. But what happens when the main character of a road movie is a King? The King of the Belgians embarks on a visit to Istanbul with a British filmmaker who has been commissioned by the Palace to shoot a documentary intended to polish the monarch’s image. But when the news breaks that Wallonia has declared its independence, he must return home to save his kingdom. In his odyssey, he will confront volcano eruptions, a solar storm and surreal encounters. A mockumentary about the adventurous tragicomedies of the European continent.
