It's a great opportunity for breakfast and chat in French, Frenglish or French. There will be a French speaking part of the table avec un petit drapeau français!

Fact-based, farm-saving French comedy is a real crowd-pleaser " - Stuff Ce « feel good movie » à la française est une belle contribution à la lutte menée contre le mal-être du monde agricole, mais aussi contre l’atmosphère de plus en plus morose de notre société du moment." - Bande à part |

David's dairy farm is on the brink of liquidation. When he chances upon a dazzling nightclub performance by Bonnie Starlight, inspiration strikes. What if he turned his big old barn into a country cabaret? Not just for entertainment, but to promote local food producers, including his mother's delicious cheese. A crazy plan, for sure - which is exactly why he loves it!" Limelight Films David, jeune paysan du Cantal, vient d’avoir une idée : pour sauver son exploitation de la faillite, il va monter un cabaret à la ferme. Le spectacle sera sur scène et dans l’assiette, avec les bons produits du coin. Il en est sûr, ça ne peut que marcher ! Ses proches, sa mère et surtout son grand-père, sont plus sceptiques. - Allo-Cine |
