The municipality of a small Breton village has decided to welcome a family of Ukrainian refugees. To their surprise, they receive Fayad family – coming from Syria. They thwart all the clichés that the French expected: they are friendly, refined, educated… So much so that, in this small, humming village, it is no longer clear which side the barbarians are on…
Meet the Barbarians is a French comedy-drama that premiered on September 18, 2024, exploring cultural clash and prejudice when a small Breton village welcomes what they expect to be Ukrainian refugees, only to discover a Syrian family who defy every stereotype. The film examines which group truly deserves the label 'barbarians' as refined newcomers upend the village's assumptions.
