À L'abordage

À L'abordage

61st TIFF: Greek premiere

Félix spends a passionate night with Alma in Paris, who hops on a train the following day to join her family in the south of France. Félix, determined not to let her slip away, embarks on a delirious carpool ride, along his banlieue homie Chérif and their reluctant driver Édouard, an upper-class mamma’s boy. A crosscutting and playful illustration of the various social and cultural layers that intersect French society, matched by the eternal questions of love and friendship.
