"The charming town of Mêle-sur-Sarthe, Normandy, is in crisis. Dairy and livestock prices have plummeted due to a flood of imports, and farmers are threatened with foreclosure. Mayor Georges Balbuzard (François Cluzet, The Intouchables) does his best to fight and raise awareness of their plight, but the situation isn’t deemed newsworthy for national media. Things seem hopeless... until the day famous American photographer Newman (Toby Jones, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) passes through the village, inadvertently discovering the perfect backdrop for his next shoot. Balbuzard sees a rare opportunity, and sets about convincing the townsfolk - the farmers, the butcher, the pharmacist, some 200 in all - to participate. The catch? They all have to pose naked!" (Alliance Française)
Au Mêle sur Sarthe, petit village normand, les éleveurs sont touchés par la crise. Georges Balbuzard, le maire de la ville, n’est pas du genre à se laisser abattre et décide de tout tenter pour sauver son village - AlloCine
À bientôt au cinéma!
