À part faire des grillades il ne se passait rien

Sélection Annuelle 2024

2027. In the midst of an election campaign, Thérèse convinces her neighbor Bernard to take over the leadership of GAD (Groupe Action Défense), a small group dedicated to the reconquest of France. Bernard accepts, convinced that this heroic mission will also win back the heart of Chantal, his wife. A master of rhetoric and the art of barbecuing, Bernard surrounds himself with frustrated but socially-integrated men who are receptive to his virile speeches, written by Thérèse. Thanks to tutorials found on the Internet, the GAD builds up an arsenal of cheap, ready-to-use weapons. Under the pretext of maintaining order, GAD frightens, terrorizes and sows chaos. Setting fire to a dry part of the region while training to throw grenades, GAD was spotted by Jordy, a local member of the PDF (Parti De France). Bernard dreams of a political destiny and declares himself ready to lay down his arms, while Thérèse plots a false-flag attack that would trigger civil war.
