Music by Peter Vermeersch & Flat Earth Society

In 2005 Peter Vermeersch composed his score for the film classic Die Austernprinzessin (The Oyster Princess, 1919) by Ernst Lubitsch. The live performances assisted by the musicians of the Flat Earth Society were extremely successful, resulting in a large number of live music screenings and in this DVD edition. Twelfth Grand Prix of Brasschaet 1932 (Jules Van Volxem) is a short documentary film about a well-known cycling race for which Peter Vermeersch wrote a score in 1998.

Oyster king Quaker has everything in life that can be bought. He is a perfectly satisfied parvenu. This is not the case for his daughter Ossi who urgently wants a husband - a prince at the very least. Matchmaker Seligson brings her into contact with pennyless prince Nucki, a notorious boozer and party animal. Nucki orders his personal lackee Jozef to investigate the marriage proposal. By doing so he turns the enterprise into chaos. Sparkling Lubitsch satire on American bourgeois life at the beginning of the previous century, set to music by Peter Vermeersch and the Flat Earth Society.
