Philippe Abrams (Kad Merad) works in Salon‑de‑Provence, a sunny town in the south. Desperate to obtain a transfer to the glamorous Côte d’Azur, he is caught cheating the system and sentenced to a managerial post in Bergues, a small town near Dunkirk in the far north. To his horror, locals speak ch’ti —a dialect filled with incomprehensible sounds—and the weather is famously cold, rainy, and gray.
