synopsis

Lilian works at a meat factory, adding bay leaves to liver patties. Once known as 'Laura', she was a rising star in the music industry and even took part in the European Song Contest. Now she leads a secluded life in an apartment stuffed with relics from her bygone days of glory. But then 22-year-old Jean walks into her life.
Liliane werkt in een vleeswarenfabriek waar ze laurierblaadjes op paté legt. Ooit was ze als 'Laura' een rijzende ster aan het firmament van het lichte lied. Ze nam zelfs deel aan de European Song Contest. Nu is ze vergeten en leidt ze een teruggetrokken bestaan in een appartement volgestouwd met relikwieën uit haar glorietijd. Maar dan ontmoet ze de 22-jarige Jean.
