La-ligne

The Line
Once upon a time there was a charming little village separated by a white line. During the World Cup Football Series, two café owners not any less charming, one Flemish, the other Wallonian, were going to compete to attract clients. But this was without taking into account the love affair that would develop between their children. 
The portrait would not be complete without the inevitable observer, here in the form of three people: the boss of a chip shop, flanked by two Moroccan youths with detached looks. They make running commentary on the action and keep points.
Love, football, beer, money – But who will end up with it?
