Carnival in Flanders

The Spanish soldiers were not as ruthless as they were depicted

Set in Flanders in 1616, the small town of Boom is busy organizing its yearly celebrations when word comes that the Duke of Olivares, who governs on behalf of Spain's King Philip III, is coming. The male citizens give in to cowardly panic, while the brave women, led by the burgomaster's bold wife, decide to become the best hosts the Spaniards could ever meet.
