A Fish out of Water story that centers around a character who, for whatever reason, suddenly relocates from a big city to a small town. Cue lots of issues with fitting in, Eccentric Townsfolk (often with some Flyover Country stereotyping), and the eventual Aesop about home being where the heart is.
The significance of this trope lies in the commonly perceived superiority of a metropolitan lifestyle. If the protagonist left the city voluntarily, expect a lot of characters (perhaps including the protagonist themselves) to wonder why they would move to such a "dump". They'll probably also have a few suspicious locals accusing them of being conceited and condescending; if these locals happen to be right, there's likely a Break the Haughty/The City vs. the Country subplot unfolding as well.
More common in TV series than in movies, as the setting and the wide assortment of colorful characters are crucial to the story.

Beauty and the Beast (2017) elaborates on Belle and Maurice's backstory; while they were already implied to be recent arrivals to their "small provincial town" in the animated film, the remake specifies that they once lived in Paris until they fled from a plague that had killed Belle's mother.

In season 2, Luke's nephew Jess moves literally from New York City to Stars Hollow and suffers some Small Town Boredom he alleviates by staging a murder scene in the town square.

The Long Long Holiday: In the summer of 1939, siblings Ernest and Colette travel with their parents from their home in Paris to visit their grandparents in a small town in Brittany for a short holiday visit. Then France enters World War II. When their father enlists and their mother has to go to Switzerland to recover from tuberculosis, the siblings end up being raised by their grandparents in the small town until at least the end of the war in 1945. Ernest (and Colette much less reluctantly) grows to love the town, and especially their True Companions The Robinsons.

Keiichi from Higurashi: When They Cry is a teenage boy who moved from the city to the sleepy rural town of Hinamizawa with his parents. The move was due to Keiichi's Dark and Troubled Past involving shooting a kid in the eye with a BB gun. Keiichi likes how close-knit and quiet the town is, though in many arcs Hinamizawza is a Town with a Dark Secret.

Persona 4 is set in a small rural town called Inaba, and has a few characters that recently moved there from bigger cities. These include the protagonist, who is living with his uncle for a year while his parents work overseas, Yosuke Hanamura, whose dad was assigned to manage a new branch of a large department store chain that recently opened in town, and Tohru Adachi, a police detective who was transferred there as punishment for some sort of screw-up. Both Yosuke and Adachi struggle with the resulting Small Town Boredom, which in the latter's case drives him to become a Serial Killer.

In The Howling (1977), Karyn and Roy Beatty start out living in the suburbs of Los Angeles (and Karyn previously lived in New York); they rent a house in the tiny country town of Drago, which is so small it doesn't show up on most maps and even people who have lived California all their lives have never heard of it. The Beattys hope the drastic change in scenery will help Karyn recover from her traumatic experience in L.A., though Karyn finds it difficult to adjust to living rurally. And then she finds out about the werewolves...

In Sakura Quest, Yoshino Koharu zig-zags this trope. She originally came from a small town in Japan but then went to college in Tokyo. After graduating, she applied to many jobs in Tokyo but couldn't get hired for a single one, until she ended up becoming "queen" of the Dying Town of Manoyama, partly by accident. For much of the early show, Yoshino is desperate to get back to Tokyo but comes to love living in Manoyama.

Beetlejuice: The Deetzes move from New York City into a quaint little town Winter River, Connecticut. Charles Deetz (a successful and possibly unscrupulous realtor) has suffered a near-nervous breakdown and hopes to escape his stressful NYC life there. His wife Delia, an art snob with terrible taste, hates moving there but is somewhat satisfied when she can transform this old-fashioned cozy New England house into a postmodern urban one and wants to start sculpting again. Delia convinces her interior designer and friend Otho to come from New York City with them. They manage to invite some New Yorkers to come for a visit (to talk about Delia's art, to evaluate possible investments, and to check paranormal activities), and most of them are very condescending. Teenage goth girl Lydia Deetz likes the house as it was.

Sally Carrera of Cars recounts her story to Lightning McQueen that she used to be a fast-track lawyer in the big city, but grew disillusioned with the phoniness and the guile. She withdrew to bucolic Radiator Springs, became its sole public defender, and has been content with that ever since. Sally recounts this as part of her stop-and-smell-the-roses Aesop.

Bagdad Cafe plays with this trope. The protagonist, who is a middle-aged Bavarian lady from Rosenheim, gets stranded in Bagdad, a middle-of-nowhere hick town in the Californian desert. While Rosenheim can hardly be described as a major city (being a remote market townlet in the Upper Bavarian province, with a population barely scratching the 60,000 mark), at least it's in Bavaria (and a relatively well-known locale amongst most Germans, who were the film's intended primary target audience). Bagdad, meanwhile, is a semi-fictional podunk town that is intended to be obscure by any metrics, especially for a Bavarian Fish out of Water who's never seen a desert (or African-Americans, for that matter).

Life Is Strange:
In the original game, Max is technically returning to her hometown of Arcadia Bay after moving to Seattle 5 years before (at the age of 13), but she's enough of a Stranger in a Familiar Land that it winds up in line with this trope. She can even admit to Chloe that she much preferred the big city and only came back because she wanted to study photography under Mr. Jefferson (although she doesn't resent being "stuck" there as much as Chloe does).
The prequel, Life Is Strange: Before the Storm, reveals that Chloe's Replacement Goldfish best friend Rachel Amber (whose disappearance forms a large part of the original game's story arc) moved to Arcadia Bay from California. As the first game hinted, she utterly resents being there, and moving away is her main goal.

Holly from By Any Other Name (2013) used to live in London, before her family entered Witness Protection in the small town of Daneshill. At first she's bored and miserable there, and looks down on her classmates for being bumpkins. She tries to befriend the popular kids and even briefly dates Fraser, the hottest boy in school, but they fall out pretty quickly, partly because the popular kids really are unpleasant but partly because, as Camilla points out, Holly acts like she's better than everyone else for no apparent reason.

Arachnophobia: Dr. Ross Jennings moves his family from San Francisco to a sleepy town in Northern California because he got the offer to be the town doctor there. Things get pretty bad for him when the Jerkass town doctor that made the offer decides to not retire after all, making him struggle to get patients so he'll have a job... and then a South American killer spider arrives in town, causing a rash of deaths with its equally super-deadly spawn...

In The Babysitters Club Stacey's parents decide to move from Manhattan to her mother's hometown of Stoneybrook, CT in the hopes that a slower pace of life will improve her diabetes, as well as remove her from the bullying and ostracization she was receiving from her former friends in the city after her diabetes complications worsened. Luckily for Stacey, she almost immediately finds True Companions in the other members of the Babysitter's Club and becomes quite popular in Stoneybrook with her "sophisticated" persona. Though she misses the big-name stores, her former sitting charges, and her best friend Laine in New York, Stacey ends up liking Stoneybrook so much that after her parents get divorced she decides to live with her mom in Stoneybrook rather than with her dad in the city.

Quite a few Harvest Moon protagonists start out as city dwellers before getting their hands on the farm (sometimes through inheritance, other times they buy it willingly). Successfully integrating yourself among the townsfolk is part of the game.

Bunheads: Las Vegas showgirl Michelle accepts a marriage proposal from Dogged Nice Guy Hubbell after she seems to have hit a dead end in her dancing career. She moves in with him in the Quirky Town of Paradise, CA, to the disapproval of Hubbell's overbearing mother Fanny. Even after Hubbell dies in a car accident by the end of the first episode, Michelle decides to stay, becoming an assistant teacher at the local dance school and meeting all the Eccentric Townsfolk, who either see her as glamorous or a whore for her showgirl past.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend: Rebecca, a bigshot New York lawyer, gets a panic attack when she hears she's about to be promoted at her job which is already destroying her in every way, and impulsively decides to move to West Covina, CA to stalk her Old Flame instead. This is lampshaded several times, with characters wondering why someone like her would move to a small-ish residential city in California.

The prequel, Life Is Strange: Before the Storm, reveals that Chloe's Replacement Goldfish best friend Rachel Amber (whose disappearance forms a large part of the original game's story arc) moved to Arcadia Bay from California. As the first game hinted, she utterly resents being there, and moving away is her main goal.
