In the first half of the 20th century, La Louvière was a prosperous mining town in Belgium. Today, more than three decades after the closing of the last mine, this same place is generally known as a grim town famous for its high unemployment rates. Still, to those who are willing to look beyond the statistics, this town reveals its beauty. In particular, this documentary shows a multicultural and convivial dream come true.
The two main protagonists (see picture) mama Jeanne from Congo and Pierre (see picture) from France mount a terril (slag heap) and discover the beauty of their habitat.
Comming from the Congo Mama mounts the terril in a typical African dress and high heels. The little mountain reminds her of Congo. At the summit treats the local population to blazed bananas and Chicken Moambe. The party at the summit depicts well the diversity of this town with the Africans to be the latest immigrants after the Italians, the Turks. Towards the end they are all surprised by the resurrection of singer Claude François, the French singing legend who passed away in an accident just a few years after La Louvière's last mine was closed down.

Enfant, Eugène Weidmann assiste au suicide de son père, depuis, il ne trouve plus le sommeil. La trentaine, il tente aujourd’hui désespérément de trouver un remède à ses problèmes d’insomnies, il se trouve face à un commissaire à qui il confie la manière dont ce remède est arrivé jusqu’à lui. Tout commence avec la rencontre d’une jeune chanteuse prénommée Lili, dont il tombe éperdument amoureux en la regardant chanter. Plus tard, elle décide de le quitter mais Eugène ne l’entend pas de cette oreille et, sur un acte passionnel, décide de mettre fin à ses jours plutôt que de la laisser partir. Pour la première fois depuis des années, il trouve enfin le sommeil et en déduit que la mort d’autrui l’aide à dormir. Il enchaîne les rencontres et les cadavres, persuadé que sa seule chance de survie est de commettre ces actes odieux. Mais son insomnie réapparaît avec un lourd sentiment de culpabilité et décide d’avouer tous ses crimes au commissaire. Or ce dernier, après avoir mené une petite enquête, lui apprend que Lili est toujours vivante et qu’aucun des cadavres dont il a parlé n’a été retrouvé. Eugène en est pourtant persuadé…
