Standing out in the cast of The Belgian Wave are Karen de Paduwa, Karim Barras and Dominique Rongvaux. Written by the director together with Jérôme di Egidio and Kamal Messaoudi, the script centres on Karen who, with the help of Elzo, investigates a wave of UFO sightings which took place in Belgium between 1989 and 1992.

Produced by Grégory Zalcman and Alon Knoll for Take Five, the feature film (with cinematography handled by Jean-François Awad) was supported by Centre du Cinéma de la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, RTL Belux, Screen.brussels, Voo and Be-tv.
