Daily life for the Norman Creole Gerald isn't limited to exterminating moles with his degenerate stepson: he dreams of transforming his educational farm into a gigantic theme park dedicated to William the Conqueror. But without the Parisians, or the Americans! He’ll stop at nothing.
Fabrice Eboué’s humor always consists in taking touchy society issues and pushing them to extremes, with heroes ripe for the nuthouse. After the hunt for vegans in Barbaque, he now takes on hate for Parisians and invasive Americans, the cult of Norman cows and the acknowledgement of a genocide at the battle of Hastings. Actually, in this hilarious docu-fiction, Eboué goes for all forms of communitarianism and extremism, pitting them one against another and suggesting that identity obsessions border on pathology. He won’t be making only friends with this one.
