Rugby, ringdoves and chocolate

We are in Oloron Sainte-Marie, a small town in the south-west of France, one of rugby´s historical stamping grounds. Every week, the town´s heart beats to the rhythm of rugby, and the fifteen players who make up the team become, for the duration of the match, the most resounding expression of the hopes or disappointments of the whole population. From this magical playing field, the film offers the viewer the chance to immerse himself in the town, via the professional activities of a few players, to describe in return the relationship between work and rugby, to catch a glimpse of the way Oloron Sainte-Marie views its team, and definitively, to recount the life of a small town via ´its rugby´.
