(Welcome to the Land of the Ch’tis)

Exclusive Release on 1st April 2008 at Ciné Lumière

Directed by Dany Boon

Starring Kad Merad, Dany Boon, Zoé Felix, Anne Marivin

Phlippe Abrams is manager of the post office in Salon-de-Provence. He is married to Julie, whose depressive nature makes his life impossible. To please her, Philippe tries to cheat the system in order to obtain a transfer to the Cote d'Azur. But he is uncovered so he is to be transferred to Bergues, a small town in the North. For the Abrams, very prejudiced southerners, the North is a nightmare, a freezing region, inhabited by uncouth beings, spluttering out an incomprehensible language, 'cheutimi'. Philippe goes alone. To his great surprise, he discovers a charming place, a warm bunch and welcoming people and makes a friend: Antoine, the postman and village bell- ringer, who has a possessive mother and thwarted love affairs. When Philippe returns to Salon, Julie refuses to believe that he likes it in the North. She even thinks that he is lying so as not to upset her. To please her and to make his life easier, Philippe makes her believe that actually, his life in Bergues is hell.
