So I have a question:

I know this was directed by the same man who did Triplets of Bellville; is this film like Bellville in the sense that they don't do much speaking, and even when they do, you don't have to know the language to understand what's going on? I hope this makes sense, haha. :) Thanks!

Correct: and in that sense it's also like a Tati film (which isn't surprising, seeing it's based on an old Tati script).

There are little bits of French, Gaelic and English dialogue throughout the film, but they're really just part of the "sound picture" - they're not driving the plot.
