When he inherits the family house and property after his mother's death, aspiring novelist Fane returns home with his bimbo girlfriend Lilas. He must care for his idiot brother Mo and contend with a greedy garage owner who covets Fane's property to expand his business. When efforts to buy the property are fruitless, the mechanic incites the townsfolk against the strange trio.

Wow, this film's pure beauty left me completely stunned. Who knows how many hidden gems like this exist, buried beneath the surface of the film industry - high-quality but undiscovered, waiting to be found.

This movie is about a property dispute involving a house and an alluring woman, the kind that every man dreams of possessing.

The film also explores a few other themes, including a heartwarming brotherly bond, an individual's struggle against a collective society, the importance of knowing how to preserve what belongs to you, and the dangers of trusting the wrong people.

The acting in the film was superb, and the characters were written with consistency and realism, resulting in perfect dialogue delivery.

In every aspect, it was a very enjoyable movie to watch. Kudos to all those involved in its creation for their hard work and dedication. And RIP Pauline Lafont.
