EN - In Crazy About Ya, different characters meet. Sometimes their stories are closely interwoven, sometimes they just brush past each other. But sooner or later everyone runs into the hero of this story, Saint Jan. As a true sanctus ex machina he makes sure that in the end, they are all a bit crazier about each other again.Crazy About Ya is a movie about fathers, daughters, mothers, sons, husbands, wives and love. Because love is everywhere. And we all want it. But love is like Sinterklaas. You have to believe in it, or it won’t work.

FR - Dans Crazy About Ya, des personnages différents se rencontrent. Parfois leurs histoires sont étroitement entrelacées, parfois elles ne font que se frôler au passage. Mais tôt ou tard, chacun se rend chez Saint Jean, le héro de l’histoire. Comme un vrai Saint il s’assure qu’à la fin, ils soient à nouveau tous un peu plus fous les uns des autres. Crazy About Ya est un film à propos de pères, filles, mères, fils, maris, femmes et à propos d’amour. Car l’amour est partout. Et nous le voulons tous. Mais l’amour est comme Saint-Nicolas: Il faut y croire sinon, ça ne fonctionne pas.

And there was even more good news: last year Belgian cinema made in Flanders received 975 international film fest selections and an impressive 110 awards. In 2010, Flemish films accounted for 2,099,472 admissions in Belgium – a 10% increase in admissions compared to the previous year.
