'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.

RIP was about the funeral company Vingerhoets. This business is losing its paterfamilias and boss. The widow Victorine Vingerhoets and her nephew, Willie Haezevoets, who live at home, have to take over the business and keep it going. Willie is patronized as a son and doesn't feel like going through life as an undertaker because he is desperately looking for a wife. The input of friend of the house Raymond van Derre (also known as Raymondke) often ensured that things never went the way they should.

Burdened with debt trauma, Mermans is murdered as the wife of Dingenen, a tired, unemployed man in his forties. All suspicions fall on him, but ultimately everything works out in this film adaptation of Aster Berkhof's novel of the same name.
