Valentin and Constance live together. A pair of trendy, wildly successful architects, they’re preparing a major retrospective of their work for the tony Palais de Tokyo museum in Paris. However, nothing goes as planned. First, Valentin’s entire hick family shows up at the museum for the opening… revealing that he’s lied to everyone about his background. He’s not an orphan, after all, but grew up in the capital of “hicksville”, in northern France. Then he has an amnesia-triggering accident, his memory gets stuck in his much-younger persona, and he begins spouting a distinctive Picard dialect… making him the biggest hick in the universe! While not a sequel, we might consider this Dany Boon’s long-awaited follow-up — or second act — to his hilarious, good-natured runaway hit, Welcome to the Sticks. Or chapter two in an ongoing homage to his native region…
