In Paimpont, in the heart of Brittany, harmony reigns: among the residents are Joëlle—the know-it-all teacher—Anne—the supermarket owner with a fondness for happy hour—Hervé—the Alsatian plumber—and Johnny—the local ranger. In a show of solidarity, they agree to welcome Ukrainian refugees. Except that the refugees turn out to be... Syrian. In this charming village, some don’t view the arrival of their new neighbors with much enthusiasm. So, in the end, who are the real “barbarians”? With Julie Delpy in attendance, the new film by the Franco-American actress-director (The Countess, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Before Midnight) is a biting social parody that closely mirrors current events!
