Alice (JULIA PIATON) is fully occupied with her duties as a teacher and mayor of a community of 400 people in the heart of Brittany. When the headstrong Émile (MICHEL BLANC), of all people, decides to learn to read and write at the age of 65 and sits in Alice's class, she is more than challenged. But things get even worse: suddenly her school is about to close and Alice sees the entire village life threatened. Now good advice is expensive. But it soon becomes clear what can be achieved if Alice and the villagers pull together - and come up with a few very clever ideas...

Filmmaker Mélanie Auffret (ROXANE) took audiences' hearts by storm with a deeply French comedy. With an outstanding cast that includes the legendary Michel Blanc (THE RISER) and the enchanting Julia Piaton (MONSIEUR CLAUDE AND HIS DAUGHTERS), IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS tells a sensitive and loving story of a small village in Brittany that fights back with great vigor to avoid being overrun by bureaucracy. It really is the little things that make this courageous plea for community and solidarity so enchanting - a cinematic gem that sparks!
