De laatste koning van België

After the 2007 elections, Albert II has a difficult task ahead of him. The political differences in the two parts of the country will eventually lead to the longest government forming ever. Private life isn't going much better either. Laurent travels to Congo, making a mess of things yet again, and Filip demands a bigger role in the government negotiations. Albert II is tired and thinks of abdicating, but Filip still hasn't managed to convince the public of his capabilities...
