Directed by Ludovic Bernard, Mission Pays Basque is a French comedy released in 2017. The film stars Élodie Fontan and Florent Peyre in a humorous confrontation between an ambitious Parisian and a Basque attached to his traditions. Between misunderstandings, cultural rivalries and unexpected romance, this comedy plays on regional stereotypes while offering warm, accessible entertainment.
Mission Pays Basque will be available on Disney+ from October 3, 2025.
Synopsis: Sibylle, a long-toothed young Parisian, intends to shine in her new professional role by buying a hardware store in the Basque country to set up a supermarket. She imagines she has "conned" the old owner, but he is under curatorship. So Sibylle has to deal with Ramon, the nephew, to get her money back and sign the deal as quickly as possible. Otherwise, she'll be in the ejector seat. She soon finds out that the Basques have no intention of letting themselves be taken in by a Parisian, no matter how pretty she may be.
Mission Pays Basque is based on situational humor in which clichés between Parisians and inhabitants of the southwest clash. The contrast between urban ambition and local traditions gives rise to comical scenes and an amusing reflection on cultural differences in France.
Élodie Fontan, who made a name for herself in Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu, plays an ambitious, determined Parisian. Opposite her, Florent Peyre plays Ramon, a Basque attached to his roots and ready to defend his region. Their dynamic interplay between opposition and rapprochement sets the pace for the film as a whole.
This comedy will appeal to fans of regional films and popular humor. It will appeal in particular to those who enjoyed Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis or Les Tuches, for the way it plays with cultural differences. The presence of Daniel Prévost in a supporting role adds a touch of nostalgia and humor for fans of French comedies.
Released in 2017, Ludovic Bernard's Mission Pays Basque appealed to family audiences thanks to its accessible humor and endearing characters. Shot in the authentic landscapes of the Basque country, it showcases a region while offering a light-hearted plot. With its arrival on Disney+ in October 2025, the film gains new visibility with viewers fond of French comedies.
