2000 Academy Award¬ nominee for best foreign film, EVERYBODY's FAMOUS! is an original and infectious comedy that explores how far some people are willing to go to achieve fame.

Jean is a family man and factory worker who dreams of becoming a songwriter. Pinning his hopes on his teenage daughter, Marva, he enters her in a string of singing contests in which the unfortunate, awkward and overweight girl struggles painfully to belt out tunes. Jean's ambitions for Marva escalate to a level of frenzy when he suddenly loses his job at the factory because of cutbacks. Deeply ashamed by the loss of his job, and even more desperate to have his daughter succeed, Jean takes a huge risk. In a chance meeting, Jean kidnaps the most famous pop star in Belgium and holds her hostage demanding to be heard by the music industry. Catching the attention of the media and the eyes of the nation, Jean and Marva finally have the spotlight and the show must go on until everyone is famous.

Hilariously unchecked ambition, greed and a father's blind love of a very ordinary daughter are delightful fodder for EVERYBODY's FAMOUS's irresistable confection of bittersweet comedy.
