Chicanes de voisins

Datsit

Synopsis

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. 

Chicanes de voisins will expose the complexities of life in society as foolish and absurd.  Sometimes funny and sometimes dramatic, the series allows the viewer to become a witness in a neighborly quarrel.

What type of neighbor do you think you are?
