The Café Franck in Brussels’ Place Flagey puts people at their ease – artists with European politicians and their assistants, tousled intellectuals with bar staff, twenty-somethings in need of a job with thirty-somethings who have one. Set in the spring of 2014, Flagey in Spring is a comedy of manners that takes place in the European Parliament itself, in bars where love and politics rub shoulders, and in Rome, where Italy is looking once again for a new Prime Minister.
