Jan Bucquoy creates this unique autobiographical film, in which his own life is a metaphor for Belgian history. The film takes us through Bucquoy's (Jean-Henri Compère) first 28 years, from 1950 to 1978, with his life paralleling with the political and social times in Belgium. The specific focus is on Bucquoy's bumblings and fumblings with the opposite sex, presented as a series of comic vignettes, though there is an emphasis on the changing society around him as well.
