Synopsis by Dan Pavlides

Hector (Urbanus) is a 35-year-old mentally challenged adult who has spent most of his life in an orphanage. His opportunistic uncle Achiel (Frank Aendenboom) retrieves Hector in order to put him to work. Achiel hopes the move will free his own son from his chores and give him time to train for an upcoming bicycle competition. Hector's Aunt Ella (Sylvia Millecam) has dreams of becoming a Hollywood actress. After the uncle dies, Aunt Ella falls for Hector in this familiar comedy theme -- a child caught in the body of a man.
