About

'Familie' is the longest running Belgian soap opera. The Van den Bossches originally had an electronics company, later a holding company that included a clothing chain and a sandwich shop. In the meantime, we closely follow the personal lives of the Van den Bossches and their entourage. Grandma Anna and all her children and grandchildren have been through a lot over time and it doesn't look like their lives will become calmer any time soon.

A matriarchal presence radiates through the screen, grounding the sprawling family drama in a sense of history. This Belgian staple tracks the Van den Bossches from their electronics roots to sprawling corporate empires.
