The most successful French film of all time: The comedy about postal worker Philippe, who is transferred not to the sunny Côte d'Azur but to Bergues in the far northwest of France, embarks on the journey to the cold, harsh north with anxious expectations and has captivated millions of viewers worldwide. However, the linguistic humor that the film relies on is often not immediately understandable, especially for French learners. Therefore, Reclam provides the original dialogues along with an introduction to the Ch'ti language and all necessary explanations. This is an unabridged and unedited text edition in the original language, featuring translations of difficult words at the bottom of each page, an afterword, and literary references.
