Synopsis

Ruben, Durex and Nora are all students in their final year of uni.

Suffering from a lack of self-confidence, Ruben has already failed his exams once and is too shy to admit he has feelings for Nora. His childhood friend Durex, who is possibly the most annoying guy in the world, isn’t much help on either front. When Ruben finds out that Nora has a side job as a drug dealer, and is about to leave for Amsterdam to bring back a new type of drug, Ruben plucks up the courage to go with her. The trip to Amsterdam is the perfect chance for Ruben to finally seduce Nora, but unfortunately for him, Durex decides to tag along for the ride.

As the trio explore Europe’s craziest capital, their lives become a lot more complicated when they find out that the drug they’ve come to collect belongs to Amsterdam’s most notorious criminals. Ruben, Durex and Nora quickly realise that if they want to get their old lives back they’ll have to stop acting like losers and become real heroes.

Synopsis

On the shores of Lake Geneva lies the small Swi ss town of Vevey. It’s the end of the 70s. On his release from prison, Eddy – a hard-drinking, 40-year-old Belgian – is met by his friend Osman. They’ve made a deal: Osman will let Eddy stay in his shed, and in exchange, Eddy will take care of his 7-year-old daughter Samira while her mother is in the hospital. It’s the Christmas season, but their shared, grinding poverty has made Eddy quite bitter. Then Charlie Chaplin’s death is announced, as well as the true extent of his fabulous wealth. Eddy starts daydreaming… and comes up with a crazy idea: what if he stole the actor’ s corpse and demanded a ransom from the family? Loosely based on real events, THE PRICE OF FAME spins a web around the audacious concept of a resuscitated Chaplin, a Chaplin whose soul gradually possesses the minds of these two misfits, until their journey becomes a tale worthy of the Little Tramp himself!
