Punch Night
Belgium, 1930.
The country is plunged into the Great Depression. After a prolonged political crisis, a new government emerges. At its helm is Baron Jean-Louis Charcutier, tasked with balancing the finances and restoring order and morality within the kingdom.
The austerity measures take immediate effect: education and healthcare budgets are slashed by half. Cultural and festive activities are banned until further notice. While the sound of boots and strict regulations begin to echo throughout Europe, a rumor begins to spread across the capital…
Never where power expects them, two years after taking over the National Printing House, the gangsters of Merci Bonsoir Lmt. Co. are once again fighting for the title of underworld champions. While the authorities desperately try to capture the organizers, they have no idea that the long-awaited match will take place in the heart of the Mounted Police headquarters.
The carousel of the Etterbeek barracks will host the most notorious improv gangs as they battle for the coveted title of champions of Brussels' underworld. Expect improvised fights without rules, a swing party until the early hours, and alcohol that has been unbanned for the night. An evening as unprecedented as it is forbidden, right in the heart of the capital.
