About Van Vlees en Bloed
The series focuses on the Vangenechten family of butchers. Business is going well until Rudy, the butcher couple's only son, suddenly returns home after years of absence. He refuses to say where he has been all this time, but he does want to come back home and work in the butcher shop.
Directed by Tom van Dyck, Van Vlees en Bloed leans on a strong ensemble — Koen De Graeve, Mieke De Groote, Reinhilde Decleir — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2009.
