Synopsis
Ivan, Koen and Jan have decided that their thing is music, so they will set up a band, play punk.rock and make it big time in the local rock festival. Koen , the lead singer, looks like a skin-head looks, lives his life literally upside down and is a compulsive rapist. Jan must be the only one-armed bass player in the world , the other one is paralized due to an absurd masturbation accident. Ivan is in charge of the guitar, has a drug addicted wife, a baby daughter and is completely deaf. They are missing the drummer. At last, it will be Dries, a popular author, who will take up the post. He is just as manipulative as Machiavelo himself and it does not really matter that he cannot play the drums.
