Synopsis:

The Flemish brass band ‘Sint-Cecilia’ and the Walloon ‘En Avant’ both contend for a place in the European final for Best Brass Band. The Walloons are blown into the final by Hugues, their exceptionally talented and handsome trumpet player. When Sint-Cecilia’s soloist drops dead on stage, Elke, daughter of the band’s conductor Joseph, has the solution: let’s buy that Walloon super talent out.

“Brabançonne” is a musical romantic comedy about Belgium where all possible means are used to outdo the other: double-crossing, schmaltzy songs and even love.
