Mild-mannered novelist of Western fiction, Amédée Lange, and his colleagues take over a publishing house after their exploitative boss disappears, only for the superior to return and try to reclaim the profits from their successful cooperative.

VIBE

A warm, humanistic tale of ordinary people banding together against a cruel system. It feels like a spirited, optimistic fable, balancing sharp social commentary with a gentle, romantic heart. A truly charming and engaging watch.
