In Jean Francois Pouliot's genial comedy the bumbling old timers of a picturesque but depressed Quebec fishing village concoct an elaborat scheme to convince a young Montreal medic to sign on as resident doctor. In order to anticipate his every whim they tap his phone. With stunning ineptitude, they pander to his tastes for international cuisine and fusion jazz, not to mention his unfortunate passion for the incomprehensible game of cricket. A huge hit in Canada, this fond and funny picture of old dogs up with the new tricks crosses the language barrier with ease.
