SYNOPSIS
Maurice, winner of the Euromillion who dreams of becoming an actor, doesn't know how to manage his son in the midst of a teenage crisis. So he calls on Big Brother Patrick, the wildcat trainer of the show of the same name.
Inspired by TV shows immersed in the lives of "real people", Brussel-Texas is a fiction with the allure of a documentary, or perhaps a documentary with the allure of a fiction... In any case a zany and unbridled film, shot across France, Belgium and Holland, in self-production, with the energy of a young team ready to do anything to make a film. A film without Chuck Norris, to be seen here.
