Beau Séjour. Kato, covered in blood, wakes up without any recollection of what happened the night before. Moreover, nobody seems to see or hear her. Slowly it sinks in: she’s dead. Who did this to her? And how come a handful of people can still see her, as if she’s among the living? Why them specifically? In her search to uncover the truth, Kato will discover that a lot of secrets lie beneath the surface of her supposedly peaceful village community.

A MATTER OF LUCK, A MATTER OF HAPPINESS
ORIGINAL TITLE / EEN KWESTIE VAN GELUK
A Matter of Luck, A Matter of Happiness, a human-interest series in 10 parts, we discover the life stories of the inhabitants of Borgerhout and AntwerpenNoord, two boroughs in the city of Antwerp characterised by a multitude of nationalities – over 170 – crammed into a few square kilometres. Young folk and retired people who have lived there for generations; men and women migrants; newcomers who have only just arrived. All of them share this one thing: a rich personal history and the dream of a better life.
