As a former journalist and experienced
director, we want to tell stories that are
relevant, entertain, make you laugh and
move you. We love extraordinary arenas
and one of a kind characters that are at
the same time struggling, just like us. Not
a forced search for diversity, but telling
true international stories. Such as in the
sixties when Sabena recruited Japanese
stewardesses for its Tokyo line.
How do Belgians experience the encounter
with new cultures, and how does Yayoi
experience the drop in a world that
welcomes her, but at the same time asks
whether she can eat with a knife and fork?
Does this new world bring freedom for
Helena and for Yayoi? But what is freedom,
really? And do people long for different
kinds of freedom depending on their social
class, their culture, their gender, their age?
Drama, satire, and situational humour go
hand in hand. Positions are constantly
switching in this world where nothing is the
same as before, even though some would
prefer it to be.
