http://www.bienvenuechezleschtis.co.uk/ Philippe Abrams is manager of the post office in Salon-de-Provence. He is married to Julie, whose depressive nature makes his life impossible. To please her, Philippe tries to obtain a transfer to the Cote d'Azur. But is, instead, transferred to Bergues, a small town in the North.
For the Abrams, very prejudiced southerners, the North is a nightmare, a freezing region, inhabited by uncouth beings, spluttering out an incomprehensible language, 'cheutimi'. Philippe goes alone. To his great surprise, he discovers a charming place, a warm bunch and welcoming people and makes a friend: Antoine, the postman and village bell-ringer. When Philippe returns to Salon, Julie refuses to believe that he likes it in the North. She even thinks that he is lying so as not to upset her. To please her and to make his life easier, Philippe makes her believe that actually, his life in Bergues is hell. But when Julie decides to move to Bergues, Philippe must either tell the truth, or keep deceiving her. Showing exclusively at Cine Lumiere in South Kensington from 1st April 2008.

I'm ch'ti, and when I saw this film I was sure it would be incomprehensible even for the other french people. And now it's translated in english and it rules ! Great !
And in the german spoken version its translated like: Maybe he took his furniture to his bush; What does he with furniture in the bush? ("chien" became "bush" and "sien" "bus")
This film is so funny, obviously some of the humour does not translate all that well in places (the english subtitles have a different joke for example as the french slang simply won't translate) but never the less 5 stars...
I think this is an Asterix joke, because the people from Gergovia uses the 'ch' as acent, so they can't speak a comprensible french, is it correct? I think it has no good translation to understand this.

("chien" became "bush" and "sien" "bus")
And I don`t even speak french!
Thanks for confirming that tho Grig .... I thought my French was even worse than it is ;-)
Mind you I couldn't figure out what it was that *sounded* like chien but wasn't that was causing the confusion.
