description About

Two small boys go rowing on the Schelde and drown under suspicious circumstances. One of the boys father is Pierre, a foreman at Vorlat's factory. Vorlat has to sell his factory in Poland with heavy losses. Now he needs 7 million fast. He tells his wife Claudine to go to any lengths to get the money from her friend Baron de Bethune. She refuses. Then he tries it himself with the baron. Strong words are changed, but no money. With no more options left, Vorlat lends the money from Claudine's multi-millionaire brother Robert, who is just back in Belgium. Tobie, Vorlat's eldest son, thought his uncle was dead. His father tells him why there are no more strings between his uncle and his family. It's a shocking story.
