Film Synopsis
In 1968, a small village in the south of France basks in tranquillity,
knowing nothing of the tumultuous events taking place in the rest of
the country. But this haven of peace is threatened when the
Minister of the Interior announces that small regional police stations
across the country are to be closed down. Determined not to lose
their jobs, the local cops set out to prove their worth, perhaps a
little too zealously...
