A story of Flanders in eight parts by Gerard Walschap

The saga of Thys Glorieus, in Flanders between the wars, continues with the young farm hand trying his luck in Brussels. However, life in a bakery does not run smoothly with someone of Thys's uncompromising attitudes. It also reflects a way of life before the organisation of unions but, like his American counterpart, Horatio Alger, the young Thys is convinced his progress must inevitably be onwards and upwards. He is faithful to Rosa back on the farm, even if his letters are unanswered.

Starring Hugo Metsers as Thys with the English voices of Peter Marinker, Kate Binchy and Angela Pleasence

A co-production by AVRO (Holland) and BRT (Belgium).
