Permis de détruire

2026

A breezy, good-natured culture-clash comedy that coasts on charm and local colour rather than big laughs.

Overview: Dominique is struggling to make her Corsican dream a reality, caught between her medical practice—which is still under construction—and her fight against a controversial power plant. When Olivier, her psychoanalyst friend who is going through a divorce, shows up to start a new life on the island, the two pinzuti (mainlanders)—with the help of their Corsican friend Santu—will do everything they can to fit into the island culture, for better or for worse.
How it feels: Light, whimsical, satirical and warm. Brisk and easy to follow.
