Brussels is a 10-part series that takes place in front of, but also mainly behind the scenes of the European political arena. In this mosaic story, all the characters are on their way to Brussels, or are already living there. It is a place of power and impotence, of love and betrayal, of dreams and bitterness. After many years, Moniek van Dalen, board member of a Dutch-British oil company, sees her former lover Viktor Petrenko again. Viktor has become rich after the fall of the Soviet Union and is an oligarch with a net worth. Both are in Brussels to lobby for their own energy interests, but there is only room for one deal.
