The Wise Guys

Hector Valentin, a man with Canadian roots, finds himself thrust back into the world of French sawmills when he inherits an old, neglected one from a distant relative. Unsure but undeterred, Hector embarks on a journey to rejuvenate the small business and bring it back to life. However, he faces multiple challenges - not only does the factory's workforce exhibit inefficiency due to outdated practices, but they also have to contend with underhanded tactics employed by a larger competitor that seeks to monopolize the industry. As Hector grapples with these obstacles and attempts to modernize the operation, he must navigate a complex web of corporate rivalry and human struggles. Through this journey of reinvention, the film delves into themes of resilience, adaptability, and the importance of community in overcoming adversity.
