Belgica is the story of two brothers: charismatic and temperamental Frank - a husband, father, and an incurable womanizer - and his ambitious-but-green, younger brother Jo, who owns a bar called Belgica. They become business partners and quickly Belgica becomes the place to be for great music, beautiful people, and debauched fun. Until they learn that running a business on this scale is more complicated than they realized, and their relationship and personal lives suffer.

Belgica is an immersive experience of the excess and euphoria of being in the hottest nightclub in town.

Set to the eclectic sounds of acclaimed Belgian band Soulwax, the film shows the brothers’ intoxicating ascent to success - and the crash and burn that follows.
