Storyline

Malaysia, in the fifties. Raymond, a wealthy rubber planter is going to die. He decides to leave all his fortune to his daughter Loulou who lives in Europe. Marcel, his friend and associate, is angry about this decision he finds unfair. He decides to make his way to Europe... Marcel arrives in the Roxy, a cabaret along the Meuse sides, in Belgium. He meets Loulou, the Roxy's star and all the characters living around her in this microcosm. Loulous sings and dances like a puppet. Shining angel on the stage, manipulating demon in life. Little by little, Marcel gets into this world and breaks up the balance which was fragile. Written by Hannelore Goossens
