Written by the directing duo, the script of Sticking Together (an expression claimed as a political axis by the French president, Emmanuel Macron) begins on the eve of a vote to ratify the construction of a leisure complex in place of a primary forest, as a "laid-back" right-wing mayor seeks to trap his colleague, a left-wing environmentalist. But it is they who will be trapped, by a group of feminist activists. The "Colle girls" will definitively make the two men face their own, respective contradictions.
