About the film

Philippe, a post office manager from the south of France, dreams of being transferred to the sunny coast. Instead, after a mistake at work, he is sent to Bergues, a small town in the north. Expecting a cold and gloomy place filled with unfriendly locals, Philippe soon discovers that life there is very different from what he imagined. As he gets to know his new colleagues and the people around him, his attitude toward the northern region and its inhabitants gradually begins to change.
