This is the story of a typical Flemish family that lives in a typical Flemish, white suburb. Although they talk a lot, they barely communicate. Twenty years ago, the oldest son Timo died in an accident. A loss the family has never properly dealt with. But suppressed emotions will come to the surface when they find out that once again, they are about to lose someone.
Jules, 62-year-old father of three grown up children, is terminally ill. And Jules has one last wish. He wants to bring elephants back to a deserted nature reserve in Nigeria, together with Hope, a young Nigerian man who recently moved in with him. In exchange for his financial support, Jules will be made king of the region. But his children will lose their inheritance.
We follow the family while they struggle to make sense of what is happening. As they deal with Jules’ impulsive behaviour and try to protect their inheritance, the family realises that the presence
of Hope also has consequences for their own personal dreams.
