In Flanders (or Flandres in French) a quiet farm hand, Demester (Samuel Boidin) who has difficulty expressing his feelings for his nymphomaniac girlfriend Barbe (Adélaïde Leroux), is sent off to war, but not before we- and he- witness her punishing him for his lack of emotion by sleeping with another man his car in broad daylight, outside a pub where she, Demester and two other friends were having a drink.
Picture this: Barbe and this guy have been eyeballing each other in the pub when she gets up and walks over to him, totally ignoring Demester and co.
