Carnival in Flanders

In the quaint Flanders village of Boom during the year 1616, the townsfolk are hard at work preparing for their annual festivities. However, their celebrations are abruptly interrupted by the news of the Duke of Olivares' impending visit, representing King Philip III of Spain in these parts. As fear and panic sweep through the male citizens, who resemble rats abandoning a sinking ship, it falls to the courageous female community members to rise up and take charge. Under the leadership of the spirited wife of the burgomaster, these women set out to showcase their exceptional hospitality and make an indelible impression on their unwelcome guests. This captivating tale is a testament to the strength and resilience of community spirit in the face of overwhelming adversity.
