A documentary series, a singular format to recount the surprising adventures of a village in the South of France. For years, Claire Simon set up her camera in the only street in Lussas, which, like the Hollywood studios, brings together all the professions of the documentary lm industry. Surrounded by vines and fruit trees, she observes the birth of an online lm distribution cooperative... Whether they are producing cherries, wine or documentary lms, here, they initiate, they project, they innovate, and they build. Over the seasons, Jean-Marie, a visionary documentary-lover, Jean-Paul, mayor-farmer, Patrice, who has gone "back to the land", Manu and Vincent who sell their natural wine to Japan and a whole community of lm- loving neo-country-dwellers throw themselves passionately into ambi- tious, modern and rural undertakings... Claire Simon lms this collective story, that of a village anchored in our time, like the ful lment of a gentle utopia. The result is 5 hours of human adven- ture whose twists and turns are articulated across 10 episodes.
