The arrival of an eccentric Rita Melanson propels her once-picturesque, Acadian hometown into action when she accidently buys both the church and the rectory.
She finds herself forced to transform her newly acquired property into a profitable business in the hope of selling it. Easier said than done. Rita must contend with Lomer, her jilted ex-fiancé-turned-town-mayor looming overhead. Thankfully, she has allies: her cousin Ferraille, a jack of all trades, her best friend Yolande, a reluctant farmer and Zoël, a young bohemian Québecker. Surrounded by an array of impulsive, poorly planned schemes, our merry band attempts to attract tourism and build a company to help inject new economic growth in their hometown. Tourists will definitely get their money’s worth when they enter their « little Acadian cousins’ » rural and quirky world. Rita Melanson’s wondrous and adventurous universe welcomes you!
