Les Sagards (2000)
Mehdi, 17, is sentenced to perform hours of community service for a minor offense. He arrives in Auvergne where he must serve his sentence - six weeks with a taciturn lumberjack, Abel Vagnier, owner of a sawmill which he operates alone with Tonton, a former wrestler. Abel, overwhelmed, accepts the placement of Mehdi, who discovers work, the countryside and life the hard way, the shock is harsh. He finds himself immersed in a universe where his bearings no longer apply. Communication, initially difficult, is slowly established despite everyone's failings...
