Free screening: Bienvenue Chez les Ch’tis (“Welcome to the Sticks”)
The film is a comedy about a French postman who tries to get transferred from the south of France to the French Riviera, and instead gets banished to the far north of France – the sticks! Their food is different, their dialect sounds like a different language, and he decides he can’t even ask his family to join him there. The story unfolds comically as he begins to really like the north, but can’t admit it to his wife, who thinks he’s just being brave. It is a well-loved iconic film in France, and has been watched by more French than any film in their history! In French with English subtitles. 2008, 106m, Dany Boon, director.
