In deed, in the South of France, the North is allegedly very cold, gloom, always rainy; its inhabitants are perpetually unemployed, have bad habits, illiterate, can not speak French. In a nutshell, the hell. As the postman crosses the boundary of the North region (Nord - Pas-de-Calais), with ski-boots in his car, pouring rain falls. The adventure starts.
At first, Abrams did not want his wife to know about the change of region, and hides his fate... But he makes friends very quickly. Likes the region. At the end, he does not want to leave. You will understand why during the film...
