Plot

Situated after the war in Antwerp, Belgium. The port is developing and old villages like Oosterdonk have to be torn down because more space is needed for the industry. The show depicts life around 1960 before the village disappeared and at the same time is about life 35 years on at the funeral of one of the protagonists, long after the village is gone.

Cast: Lien Kneepkens, Elm Vandevorst, Robert de la Haye, Leo Rozenstraten, Johan Terryn, Paul Wuyts

How the Pulse Score works

For series, Pulse starts from the IMDb rating shrunk by vote count, then applies FORMAT CALIBRATION. Series score systematically higher than films on IMDb, so using the raw number would unfairly push a show like Tales of a Liar to the top of a film catalogue. Calibration maps the series distribution onto the film one; meaning 67 is COMPARABLE to a film with the same Pulse.

One more difference from films: Letterboxd does not track series, so series Pulse derives from a single source (IMDb) rather than two.
