Synopsis
Brittany’s Town has decided to accept Ukrainian refugees in exchange for government subsidies. However, instead of seeing Ukrainians arrive, they now see Syrian migrants, which has caused some conflicts. Yet the Fayad family avoids all the clichés the French villagers may have expected. So much so that, they leave one wondering: who are the true ‘barbarians’?
