In this documentary, we become acquainted with the Virgilian Bruegel of the vast landscapes and the sarcastic Bruegel of popular moral tales. We see the Bruegel of the peasants and the Bruegel of the humanists, Bruegel the earthy and Bruegel the thinker, the Bruegel of everyday life and the Bruegel who ventures into the boldest flights of imagination and fantasy. The Flemish version is narrated by Ludo Bekkers en Julien Schoenaerts and the French version by Daniel Gelin and Philippe Noiret
