Here’s a feature-style summary for (original French title) — known internationally as "An Indian in the City" or more commonly "Little Indian, Big City" ( Un Indien dans la ville , 1994). 🎬 Feature: Un Indien dans la ville – Now Streaming on Netflix Genre: Family / Comedy / Adventure Director: Hervé Palud Starring: Thierry Lhermitte, Patrick Timsit, Miou-Miou, and child actor Ludwig Briand Country: France Runtime: 90 min Language: French (with subtitles/dubbing available on Netflix depending on region) 📖 Synopsis Un Indien dans la ville tells the heartwarming and hilarious story of Stéphane (Thierry Lhermitte), a self-centered Parisian stockbroker more interested in his career and expensive lifestyle than in his own daughter. When his ex-wife Patricia (Miou-Miou) suddenly has to leave for a humanitarian mission, she drops off their young daughter Mimi at Stéphane's apartment — much to his dismay.
But here’s the twist: Mimi has spent most of her childhood living in the Amazon rainforest with her anthropologist mother and has fully embraced the ways of an indigenous tribe. She hunts with a blowpipe, sleeps in a hammock, and communicates with forest animals. Thrown into the chaotic, ultra-modern world of Paris, Mimi sees escalators as waterfalls, cars as metal beasts, and her father’s fancy dinner parties as a jungle to be tamed. un indien dans la ville netflix
