For years the northern Pas-de-Calais region has been regarded by many French citizens from further south as a miserable hell of disused coal mines and rusting factories, and its inhabitants as depressed, violent alcoholics who speak an impenetrable dialect, Ch'timi. This all changed a few weeks ago with the release of comedian Dany Boon's heartwarming comedy, which became a smash hit at the French box office.
The film retraces the misadventures of a postal worker, Philippe Abrams (Kad Merad), who moves north from Provence for work and finds himself unexpectedly charmed by the region's unusual customs and warm hospitality, as embodied by Boon's character Antoine, the local postman.
