Somewhere in Sicily, the French president and the German chancellor have planned to visit a migrant camp.

The emissaries of the two leaders are sent upstream and find the camp too clean, too functional.

Thus begins the squeaky comedy 

The Drift of the Continents (in the south)

 which is released this week in theaters in France after being screened at the Directors' Fortnight in Cannes this year.

Sophie Torlotin had met the Swiss director, Lionel Baier, in Cannes.
