Storyline
The King of the Belgians is on a state visit in Istanbul when his country falls apart. He must return home at once to save his kingdom. But a solar storm causes airspace and communications to shut down. No planes. No phones. With the help of a British filmmaker and a troupe of Bulgarian folk singers, the King and his entourage manage to escape over the border. Incognito. Thus begins an odyssey across the Balkans during which the King discovers the real world - and his true self. Written by Bo Films

it's a very enjoyable movie,a light comedy one,but the idea is genuine that a royalty can go through all sort of hardships to save his kingdom out of sense of dedication,to the extent that he can get dressed in a dancer's custom to go home! The movie rhythm kept going funny all the time but without losing the formal sense that we are talking about a king here!so I got the message real well! the guy is a king but a cool one ! and man that's so cool,I loved it !
