Identity, immigration and cross-border relations are just some of the dark themes explored in haunting new thriller WALTER PRESENTS: FLOODLAND (Grenslanders).
In the remote border region between the Netherlands and Flanders, a mysterious African girl is found wandering around on the Flemish side. As the charming but nonchalant Belgian court psychiatrist Bert Dewulf is brought in to find out what happened to the deeply traumatized girl, Tara Dessel, a Dutch police inspector of mixed descent, investigates a bloody shootout on a pleasure yacht. It soon turns out that there is a connection between the two cases. The girl is being hunted by a merciless gang of human traffickers from whom she has escaped. When Tara and Bert start to collaborate on the case, they discover that the borderlanders have had their own way of handling foreigners for many centuries.
The cast is led by Jasmine Sendar (Tara Dessel) and Koen De Bow (Bert Dewulf) who viewers may recognise , from the much-loved Walter Presents: Professor T. Other faces that may already be familiar to Walter Presents viewers include: Monic Hendrickx (Black Widow), Fedja van Huêt (Black Widow, The Swingers, The Adulterer), Tiny Bertels (Hotel Beau Sejour, Scratch My Back) & Herwig Illegems (Professor T).
