Lili & Marleen plot
Lili & Marleen is set during the Second World War and post-war Antwerp on the Antwerp Quays in Café 'De Lichttoren', which is run by mother Lisa. It will never make her rich because her door is always open to everyone. Stavros, a Greek hairdresser who has fled from a German camp, Jef & Ida, a third-rate variety duo and Marleen, an orphaned girl from Limburg, have found a hospitable home with mother Lisa. Mother Lisa's hospitality is not to her brother Rik's liking. After all, Rik enriches himself on the black market and can miss all those snoopers like a toothache.
