Clemenceau

Brutally honest and socially inept, Omar tries awkwardly to restore the image of Molenbeek.

synopsis

Omar is a quick-witted pizza delivery guy and aspiring journalist, with a severe lack of filter – especially when it comes to issues dealing with his community in Molenbeek. When one day, his reaction video to the riots in Brussels goes viral, things take an unexpected turn, giving him much needed internet exposure and perhaps a chance to prove himself as a journalist. The floodgates open, however, as he unwittingly becomes the voice of the people. Neither his younger sister, who constantly criticises him, nor his best friend, who goes along for the ride, are of any help. The only person that seems to understand him is Malika, who he’s in love with and who, to his dismay, is engaged to another man. A mix of "Do the Right Thing" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm", "Clemenceau" follows Omar as he navigates life, being way too honest about his community and the world around him, getting in his own way of achieving his dreams.

Director’statement

This series explores the misunderstandings and misconceptions in Brussels, a city that to some is the political centre of Europe and to others a hotbed of terrorism. We are seeking international producing partners, broadcasters and SVOD platform opportunities.
