"Le bonheur est dans le pré" is a sharp rural comedy by Étienne Chatiliez. A weary city man inherits a farm and must contend with colorful locals, stubborn rural habits and a noisy flock of geese. Through a series of misadventures, he discovers life can be richer away from the office: community, generosity and a slower pace. With turns by Michel Serrault, Michèle Laroque and a cameo by Éric Cantona, the film blends farce with tenderness and bucolic charm.
