2008, 102 minutes, Rated M

Welcome To The Sticks tells the tale of post office manager Philippe Abrams and his wife Julie, who love the sunny South of France. But when Philippe gets caught trying to cheat his way into a transfer to a Riviera town, the punishment could not be worse.  Philippe must pay for his sins by spending three years at a post office in the dreaded Nord Pas de Calais: France's northernmost region, reputed for its bad weather, rusting factories, smelly food and socially retarded inhabitants who speak an impenetrable dialect.

A film phenomenon in its home country of France, the hilarious Welcome To The Sticks is a heart-warming comedy centering on regional differences and local traditions, making this a universally entertaining film.
