Lucy Loes, born Lucienne Vanbesien, began singing in her fifties, in a café she ran in Ostend. Within a few years, she became a local icon, the voice of the fishermen, the star of Flemish nights. Her daughter Rita looks back on what fame gave and what it took away.

Lucy Loes, de son vrai nom Lucienne Vanbesien, a commencé à chanter à plus de cinquante ans, dans un café d’Ostende qu’elle tenait elle-même. En quelques années, elle est devenue l’idole locale, la voix des pêcheurs, la star des nuits flamandes. Sa fille Rita revient sur les traces que la gloire a laissées.
