La Soupe aux choux

'Cabbage Soup') is a 1981 French science fiction comedy film directed by Jean Girault, based on the 1980 novel by René Fallet.

One night, their farting summons an alien (Jacques Villeret) from the planet Oxo while Le Bombé is asleep.

Surprised, Le Glaude communicates with the alien through rough sign language and then sends him off with a canister full of cabbage soup.

Worried about his friend, Le Glaude tricks him into hanging himself while he secretly cuts the rope so that he falls when he puts his weight on it.

Meanwhile, the mayor of the rural town decides to modernize and plans a new housing project directly on the old men's land.
