Who in the town where the French course is held doesn't have the last name Tremblay?
The film centres on several anglophones, mostly Canadians but including one American, who travel to the small village of Saint-Isidore-du-Cœur-de-Jésus in the Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec for an intensive French immersion course. The language students include Bobby "JFGay" Sexton, a federal Member of Parliament who aspires to become leader of his political party but is avoiding a debate against rival candidate Michael Pontifikator because of his poor French skills; Cathy, his Royal Canadian Mounted Police bodyguard; Aretha Marley, a flight attendant who has taken the immersion course twice before but still cannot speak French, having learned only how to put on a French accent while speaking English; Colin MacGonagle, a divorced postal worker from Alberta who enters a romance with French teacher Julie Tremblay; and Jonathan Hornstein, a trainee chef from New York City who wants to open a French restaurant.In Saint-Isidore, nearly all of the 2,000 residents have the surname Tremblay—the sole exceptions are Pierre-Émile Dagnais, the strictest and most disciplinarian teacher at the French immersion school, and Kumar, a chef from Mumbai who moved to the town because he'd been told the region was where all of Quebec's Indians were. The town's most powerful residents are Sylvie Tremblay, the head of the French immersion school, and her father, a corrupt federal Senator.
