Filming has commenced for ‘Ô Belgique !’, a new comedy film directed by Stijn Coninx. The production features a bilingual cast, bringing together Flemish and Francophone actors to explore themes of love, humor, and Belgian reality.

The plot follows Johan, a Flemish Minister-President, who intends to sign a manifesto supporting a two-state model. When his Walloon counterpart is unable to attend, his daughter Florence must step in. Florence, who is also Johan’s former partner, has significant reservations about the document. The situation escalates from a signing ceremony into a chaotic road trip across Belgium, forcing the former lovers to confront old tensions and feelings.

The film is produced by A Private View and Deal Productions, with a scheduled theatrical release in autumn 2027.
