Story
Ironically, Matty and Johnny meet during a collision in a parking lot near a supermarket in Moscow ( Moscou ), which is part of Ghent ( Belgium ). He was named after the army of the Russian Empire , which camped here in 1814-1815. The most noticeable signs of Ghent Moscow are the intersection of the railway lines to Antwerp and Brussels , the railway overpass and the final stop of the Gents tram (number 4).
Matty is a 41-year-old mother of three children (the eldest daughter is 17 years old), whose husband left five months ago when he fell in love with a 22-year-old student. She is considering suicide, following the example of Anna Karenina. Instead, she collides in the parking lot with the truck of 29-year-old Johnny. Angry over a dent in the bumper of his truck, Johnny jumps out of the cab and starts shouting insults at the woman. In the end, the police intervene, who seem to know the truck driver very well.
In the evening, Johnny calls her to apologize for his behavior. Two days later, he comes to her to fix a car damaged by him in a hassle in a parking lot. To the confusion of the Matty family (especially Vera’s eldest daughter and Matty’s jealous husband, Werner), they gradually fall in love. Although Vera turns out to be a lesbian and Werner becomes aware that Johnny is a former criminal, everything ends happily.
