Synopsis:

Every village or town in Flanders has a couple of bands that end up playing in local halls and community centers, while still cherishing a dream of future fame. Like their idols, the band members often turn to drugs and then find themselves in a downwards spiral of chaos and violence. Here, three musicians still need a drummer before they can turn into rock'n'roll stars for the one-off major gig they have in mind. They find the drummer they need in the form of the arrogant and successful writer Dries, who regards it as an experiment to step outside his own happiness and descend to the less well endowed world of the common man. This fourth man, whose handicap is that he cannot play the drums, gradually reveals himself to be an unscrupulous manipulator. Mutual tensions and family vendettas mean that violence gradually increases. In the end the writer manages to drive the other band members so far they could drink each other's blood.

Three musicians who decide to form a somewhat unique band. The bass player has a rigid arm, the singer cannot sing and the guitarist is deaf. In their quest for glory and a drummer, they knock on the door of a successful writer to use his fame. However, in keeping with the spirit of the group, he too has to have a serious handicap, and he does he doesnt know how to play the drums...

Drama set in the suburbs of Ostend. A group composed of three rock musicians all of whom have a handicap, aspire to take part in a local Rock'n'roll rally at Leffinge and win.
