The Tree, the Mayor and the Mediatheque

ComedyDrama110 min

A socialist mayor in a small French village pushes to build a new arts center, then finds the plan tangled in local opposition. Pascal Greggory is the official trying to turn civic ambition into something concrete, while Arielle Dombasle and Fabrice Luchini are among the people drawn into the argument as it spreads through the community. What starts as a municipal project opens onto clashing ideas about culture, politics, and what the village should become.
