Eternal truths I will say right away, I am very glad that I was lucky to come across this great, kind and beautiful film for a joint family viewing in the best traditions of French cinema. Amid the dominance of tastelessness, vulgarity and obsceneness, it looks like a “ray of light in the dark realm” and will be a pleasant surprise for any person starving for a really good movie. Now a little bit about the tape itself.
An uncomplicated plot, which also presents many funny surprises; a magnificent, even brilliant, cast, surprisingly organically and naturally acting out cute everyday scenes sometimes with deep philosophical statements and even with elements of drama; stunning landscapes of the Breton village, almost completely divorced from any civilization and preserved a leisurely and measured centuries-old way of life. Therefore, akin to the invasion of space aliens was for the local aborigines an unexpected visit to the holidays of a noisy and liberated city company that came to such a wilderness to throw off the fuss and nervousness of the frantic rhythm of large cities and finally solve their own problems, accumulated over the years. As a result, the return to the origins helped to remove many contradictions, deal with the secrets of the past, feel closer family ties and friendly ties, the young generation gave the opportunity to know the exciting first love, and the indigenous inhabitants brought a fresh wind of change in a slowly fading life and allowed to stand on the feet of more than one local farm.
Such a movie will remain relevant for centuries, because despite the numerous and constant rapid changes in our lives, relationships between people will always remain the most important and valuable. A person is a social being, he becomes and is realized precisely in society, so the nature of mutual understanding and contact of such different “small universes” unambiguously occupies one of the first places in his interests. Most of the life of the average citizen passes, as a rule, not in some global changes and cataclysms, but in such everyday small, but not becoming less significant, clashes of characters and everyday dramas. Accordingly, neither high-profile premieres with a multimillion-dollar budget fall into the soul, but simple in content, but very human, close to each of us cinema, like our best holidays.
