Vincent is fed up to the eyeballs. He's had enough of his wife, his children as well as the peculiar characters who live in the village. These characters include old Albert, who plods the same track every single day, the postman who reads everybody's letters and the priest who insists on ogling the women. Then one day, Vincent decides to take a look at the world...
