Sambre

Sambre is a series of comic historical drama created by Yslaire and Balak in 1986. Very dark and melancholic, Sambre tells the story of a rural middle-class family of the xix th century and particularly that of Bernard Sambre, loving Julie, a young vagabond with red eyes that her family hates the point of wearing them among superstition. The fates, minds and bodies express themselves, meet and get injured. No one can escape his destiny. Sambre is a portmanteau formed from " blood" and "som ber" but he is also a river of Belgium.
