**_What a shambles_** [contains spoilers] > Racer and the Jailbird _is a fictional tale of love and crime, of desire and failure. A love tragedy, or better, an_ Amour Noir_. I consider_ Racer and the Jailbird _to be the second part of my crime trilogy. Each part is freely based on a particular moment in Belgian criminal history. For_ Bullhead_, my source of inspiration was the hormone mafia. This time, I draw inspiration from notorious Brussels gangs and equally from the adrenaline driven world of auto racing. However, as was the case with_ Bullhead_,_ Racer and the Jailbird _will not be a_ _film about these gangs, nor a biography of one or another real-life gangster. The foundation of this story is the love between a man and a woman and the impossibility of actualising their relationsh
