Philip Abermis the head of a post office in Provence, southern France. His wife Julienaturally depressing personality that makes their lives lifeless. In order to please his wife, Philip Abbots had to find ways to change jobs for her to change her working environment. But things did not develop as he wanted. Philip Abrams was transferred to the small northern city of Bergs, instead of the south where he wanted to go. The chief of a post office in Provence, his wife, in the eyes of southerners like Philip Abbots, the small northern city means a cold place where the hillbillies live. What’s more terrifying is that the residents there say something that makes people difficult. The dialect understood "Chtimi".
Feeling uneasy about the future, Philip went on the road alone, but to his surprise, he found that the people here were not as hospitable as he had imagined. In Bergs, he and Anthonyplayedbecame good friends. Anthony is not only a postman at the town’s post office, he is also the bell-ringer of the church, and there is a very possessive mother in the family. Philip followed Anthony from home to each other. Every time they came to a house, they were warmly entertained by the residents in different ways. In the process, he began to fall in love with this "barren land."
Philip returned home and began to talk to his wife about his life in Bergs. Julie couldn't believe that her husband started to like that place. She even thought that Philip was saying this deliberately to make her happy.
To reassure his wife, Philip lied that his life in Bergs was simply hell, and his previous words were just to comfort her. From then on, Philip's life began to be divided into two halves: half of the time he lived an unfettered life with Anthony, and half of the time he had to face his dull wife. Until one day, Julie decided to see Philip's life in hell in the north with her own eyes.
Philip had to make Anthony and other post office colleagues look like "barbarians" in Julie's eyes, because they thought Julie would be intolerable and left quickly. But in fact, after Julie arrived at Bergs, she found that Philip had been deceiving herself.
