synopsis
A comedy with a situation that is built up by a cast of sharply delineated characters, this first-time feature by director Robert Menegoz revolves around a housing development and one stubborn old codger. Armand (Pierre Fresnay) has lived in his home for ages and has no intention of leaving it now, not for the entrepreneurs who are developing a big housing complex and need his land. It seems like nothing will dislodge him as life with its complexities continues day by day. Yet when Armand learns that the big-time developers may be taking unfair advantage of his refusal to move, he starts reconsidering his decision.
