Gunther Strobbe, 13, lives with his father Celle and three uncles (Breejen, Koen and Lowie) at his grandmother's house. After a series of failed marriages, the Strobbes moved back in with their aged mother. The all-male family lives in the filthiest shack in the unsightly town of Reetveerdegem according to the principle: "God created the day and we party our way through it." Every evening, Gunther joins his father and uncles in the local bar where they drink themselves into oblivion while Gunther does his homework. But can Gunther influence the course of his own history? Can he play a trick on fate?
