The Vets
Directed by Julie Manoukian
Produced by Les Films du 24, UGC Distribution
A warmly observed French rural comedy-drama about generational tension, professional duty, and the pull between ambition and belonging.
In the heart of Morvan, Nico, the last vet in the area, struggles to save his patients, his clinic, and his family. When Michel, his partner and mentor, announces his retirement, Nico knows that the hard part is yet to come. "Don't worry, I've found the next generation" Except that ... The next generation is Alexandra, a 24-hour graduate, brilliant, misanthropic, and not at all willing to return to bury herself in the village of her childhood. Will Nico manage to make her stay?
