Oud België plot
Antwerp, 1978. The variety theater “Ancienne Belgique” presents a new revue every week. Local artists bring music, dance, skits and magic acts. That's entertainment on the Scheldt. In the wings and in the boxes it is not always a party and sometimes ambition and envy dominate because the competition among the artists is fierce. Especially now that one variety theater after the other is closing its doors because the public stays away and no government provides support. The main competitor is television. Not only does the audience stay at home for it, but many artists and musicians are forced to work for television.
