Synopsis

Belgica tells the story of Jo and Frank, two brothers. As is often the case with brothers, they are very different. Jo is not very tall and can only see through one eye. But his love for music eventually makes him start a bar called Belgica. Frank is the big brother on all levels. When Frank visits Jo’s bar, the brothers decide that Frank will come and help Jo. Jo and Frank turn the Belgica into the hot spot of nightlife. They are the golden duo, and for a while, the sky seems the limit. But nightlife is an addictive trip and the world keeps on spinning.
