A story of the British living in France, told through portraits of expatriate families in the Dordogne. Having himself left the United Kingdom, Rip Hopkins re-examines his roots and his passionate relation with the country. Antony Mair, a British settler in the Dordogne, considers what it means for him and for others to be an expatriate, while Pauline de La Boulaye, a French national, sets out her view of the British, of the photographer and of the present time. These different accounts raise questions of identity and of belonging to a country, real or imaginary, in the context of a society adapting to globalisation. Disturbing and surreal, the pictures resonate at the deepest levels of consciousness.
