THE OVER THE HILL BAND is the latest picture by the producers of the 2008 Cannes Critics’ Week winner MOSCOW, BELGIUM.

THE OVER THE HILL BAND is the story of a seventy year old woman (Marilou Mermans) who used to sing in a girls band when she was much, much younger. After the death of her husband, she decides to go on stage again. She asks her rebel son – down and out R&B musician Sid (Jan Van Looveren) - to help her start a new band with two girlfriends from the old days. Sid would rather drown in the North Sea than sharing the stage with mommy dearest, but in the end he agrees. On one condition: it has to be his music...

THE OVER THE HILL BAND is a dramatic comedy directed by Geoffrey Enthoven (THE ONLY ONE). The screenplay is written by Jean-Claude van Rijckeghem (MOSCOW, BELGIUM) and Chris Craps (CRUSADE IN JEANS). Pascal Garnier and Stef Caers wrote swinging RNB versions of some classic pop tunes.

Actors Marilou Mermans and Jan Van Looveren are joined by Lucas Vanden Eynde, Lut Tomsin, Lea Couzin, Barbara Sarafian, Greg Timmermans, Jurgen Delnaet and François Beukelaars in supporting roles.
