'Familie' is the longest running Belgian soap opera. The Van den Bossches originally had an electronics company, later a holding company that included a clothing chain and a sandwich shop. In the meantime, we closely follow the personal lives of the Van den Bossches and their entourage. Grandma Anna and all her children and grandchildren have been through a lot over time and it doesn't look like their lives will become calmer any time soon.

A fun fair turns out to be a hotspot for alien visitors. They come here in the hope of finding a possible solution to their problem. It's up to enthusiastic teenage alien Nova and her three best friends to keep the arrival of the aliens a secret and help them continue their journey through the universe with a creative solution. Because even though the alien visitors often cause chaos, our friends do not avoid any problem. Everyone is welcome at the fair! Waiko!

In this documentary series, interspersed with historical reconstructions, Tom Waes investigates what has happened since the arrival of the first Homo sapiens, on the 14,000 square kilometers that we today call Flanders.
