'Familie' is the longest running Belgian soap opera. The Van den Bossches originally had an electronics company, later a holding company that included a clothing chain and a sandwich shop. In the meantime, we closely follow the personal lives of the Van den Bossches and their entourage. Grandma Anna and all her children and grandchildren have been through a lot over time and it doesn't look like their lives will become calmer any time soon.

Ten years since the passing away of Ellen, it's the annual reunion of Ellen's friends. We see how everybody has coped in his own way with the loss. Where is the grief now? Where is someone, who died ten years ago? Sonnet 81 is a subtle and poetical portrait about the immortality of our loved ones.
