About
After learning of her husband's double life in Morocco, a 65-year-old Molenbeek grandmother decides to revisit an old Hamlet dream with three friends.
Fatima, played by Saadia Bentaïeb, is sixty-five and lives in Sint-Jans-Molenbeek. When she finds out that for ten years her husband has kept a second life going in Morocco, she is furious. She refuses to let fate decide what comes next and chooses to return to a plan from fifty years before, when Hamlet was the role she was due to play. Alongside Mériem, Romaissa and Inès, also grandmothers from Molenbeek, she is one of the women known as the Baronnes. Together they make a decision that will change their own lives, those of the people around them, their neighbourhood and the country. Jan Decleir appears as Lucien.
