Sacrés gendarmes

1980 · 99 min

A gentle, low-stakes French village comedy that ambles along with mild charm and little urgency.

Overview
In 1968, in a small village in the south of France, while the rest of the country was gripped by insurrectionary fervor and the search for a few liters of gasoline, life flowed peacefully. However, the tranquility and good humor of everyone were called into question by the announcement of the brigade's transfer to a less remote location.
