Two men, fortyish, worn out by their wives, abandon everything to go and live in the back of beyond. There they meet a truculent priest, a boozer, Émile who recalls them to life's simple pleasures. Calm is what they want. But soon their example inspires thousands of disorientated males...

A surreal, existential dive into midlife malaise. It's a wry, absurdist journey where men seek solace in the wilderness, only to find their escapism spiraling into unexpected, darkly comedic territory. A philosophical, offbeat experience.
