Neighborly fights usually begin over small things. A fence that overlaps a property, a dog that barks endlessly, a lawnmower starting up every Saturday at 7am, animal excrement in a garden, a terrace which is too high. Jealousy, envy, family disputes, racism, and you have a recipe for neighbors to be swept into an escalation of incomprehension, arguments, and lawsuits. A territorial war is declared and both parties feel invaded by the enemy, the neighbor.

Rejeanne and Gilles are a married couple whose devastating setbacks--she is laid off from her job and he suffers a debilitating stroke--only begin to fester in the face of corporate greed and personal struggles when they attempt to start over in a new neighborhood.
