un unemployed man finds work and happiness in the countryside

the right environment - la France profonde - and the right encounter -Margot - slowly change the caracter and the self estime of  an unhappy unemployed city worker. Camera is technically well guided, - nice landscape views - but the rhythm of the picture is to slow.Unknown actors help to accept the credibility of this story.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
