New Showbiz Analysis

The film primarily serves as a thematic critique of urban modernity and consumerist structures. It uses the 'babas' community to challenge capitalist hierarchies, promoting a progressive view of communal, non-conformist living. However, this ideological progressivism is not reflected in the demographic diversity of the cast, which appears largely homogeneous and reflective of rural France during the period depicted. Ultimately, the film balances a radical lifestyle critique with a traditionally uniform demographic profile.

Official Synopsis

Whilst driving through rural France, Antoine Bonfils comes across a community of babas - men and women who have turned their back on the modern commercialist world and live, free of constraints, as close to nature as they can. After a tiff with his girlfriend, he decides to swap his comfortable but empty life in Paris for a new life with the babas. Adapting to the new life-style proves to be far from easy...
