So there is a hippie commune somewhere out there in the Universe and they live, as hippies should, in peace and harmony with Nature. Agrarian society. Communicating with each other by telepathy, attending "silent concerts", and do interplanetary travel in some sort of egg shaped bubbly crafts. For reasons I did not quite get they travel to various planets, Earth included and marvel at silly things the earthlings do - like money, wars, cars, tech. Etc. You know, the evils of civilization. As we learn deeper into the movie Jesus and JS Bach had been also the messengers from that planet. So, I surmise, they sort of monitor Earth and try to influence it of sorts. So, the main protagonist Mila, wants to go to Earth for no other reasons but because her mother was an Earthling. Just to check out on Earth. So she gets into egg-shaped bubbly thing and gingerly travels to modern day Paris. Where of course she discovers a few things that are wrong like air pollution, water pollution, inedible food or food made from animals (strong vegetarian message). In process of communicating with Earthlings she proceeds to screw with them so that they "open their eyes", start hugging trees, ditching their shoes to walk barefoot, discover disgust for meat eating or start throwing stale cookies at the evil cars. You know, the hippie agenda. Then things start to get a bit random, as I think at this point the director ran out of ideas. Since she can't consume inedible processed food she gets herself into maternity ward and grabs a baby who was conceived as the result of a rape of a Bosnian woman by Serbian soldiers. The baby was abandoned and being cared for by a nurse. So holding a baby "charges" Mila somehow. She falls asleep to be awaken by the nurse who like "WTF?". While they are talking the head doctor barges in and starts giving them hard time. So Mila does that mindf* thing on him and he turns into an idiot who realizes that he, as a man, has no idea as what is it to give birth to a child. Mila tugs along with "enlightened" Doc to his apartment. Sleeps on a balcony. He has out of control impudent brat son and a wife who stays with him only because of money. All these revelations are triggered by Mila's trickery. So random stuff like that. Add to this that she communicates with her planet by sitting ankle deep in the water and by holding her hands to her temples and flapping them funny. Now back to the baby. She need the baby, the nurse is conflicted because the baby will be taken away soon by Child Protection Service and she apparently is attached to the baby. So they steal the baby and go to their flat where there is also nurse's sister. Both rather attractive. While there, Mila, ankles in the bathtub communicates to her sons just to say "Hello" and they get a glimpse of two sisters and immediately want to go to Earth to get to know them. They convince their local sage commune leader to send the to Earth and they land in that egg shaped bubbly thingie somewhere in Australia among aborigines who live just like them on their planet in harmony with Nature so they are surprised to contrast that to all the bad rap their mother was giving them about Paris. So sooner or later they take a flight from Australia to Paris pulling similar mindf* on airline and customs personnel. Having arrived to Paris they meet the sisters, the Doc's son who is getting all better without watching TV all day long, they drive cars, have fun at soccer field by getting both teams perform silly ballet and then kiss and hug each other (gay theme). And then they just go back to their planet with the sisters and the baby in tow! And that's it! So how silly does that sound to you? IMO it is pretty silly.
So, enlightened hippies stole 2 hot girls + baby from that stupid planet Earth and everybody is happy. And that is basically it.
I hope that may be a lot was lost in translation and the French dialog must have been witty and full of zingers. I could only hope.
I would not say I totally did not enjoy the movie. But it is a silly movie.
