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.
