    • The gripping untold story of the Brexit negotiations... from the inside . For two years, Belgian film maker, Lode Desmet, has had exclusive access to the Brexit co ordinator of the European parliament, Guy Verhofstadt and his close knit team.

      This revelatory fly on the wall film captures the off the record conversations and arguments of the European negotiators as they devise their strategy for dealing with the British. At moments funny and tragic, the film documents how the Europeans’ respect for a formidable negotiating opponent turns into frustration, irritation and ultimately ridicule as the British fail to present either a united front or a clear goal for the future.
