An economic and financial crack due to global warming paralyses the entire country. Everything is at a standstill. We follow with interest the escape of a rich family from the big city to the countryside by bike, with the means at hand, to rebuild a new world. And they don't have another choice: this new life is more ecological, they have to accept a far simpler life, where you have to manage to feed yourself and survive the hard way. They decide to stay in a farm, that they bought before the crack because of its insolvability. But what a disappointment! This is a film that drags itself along, showing the harsh realities of the farm, the hard work, the difficult human understanding, the daily struggle on the brink of poverty. Very little inspiration, a lot of ecological clichés, it's badly stitched together without much imagination or ideas. The ecological fable falls flat and boredom sets in. Even if the ending is more optimistic, after an old-fashioned wheat harvest that restores hope to the farm community, we're left wanting much more. The good cast - from Yannick Noah and Michael Youn to Valérie Bonneton and Barbara Schulz - carry the film at arm's length, but fail to raise our fervour and enthusiasm for the ecological transition - on the contrary.
