THE NATIVES
PITCH / Local stand-up comedian Freddy De Vadder flees to a picturesque village called Bevergem. Why? Nobody knows. He doesn’t talk about it. The contrast between him and the grotesque residents could not be greater. In anticipation of the annual town festival, tempers become heated. But Freddy doesn’t care: he just hopes his hideout is secure.
through the countryside and towns to the Belgian coast, Archibelge! takes an unusual look at the thought behind - and the lifestyle of people living in - everyday Belgian architecture.
