CGiii Comment
Oh Sebastien...have you just taken a step backwards on the film-making evolutionary ladder?!?
Littered with redundant scenes and punctuated with seriously shabby camera work.
After 34 minutes you will ask yourself the question: why travel with these people?
Dump them and your baggage - and that's the end of the film...unfortunately, it goes on and on...
It does have the best and briefest suicide scene...and nagging women...oh la la.

The(ir) Blurb...
In the summer, 27 year-old Sam drives towards the south of France in his Ford. He meets Matthieu and his sister Léa and takes them along in his apparently aimless journey. Matthieu has a crush on Sam and tries to seduce him. Lea is a beautiful, young, provocative girl who likes men so much that she got pregnant. She soon brings along Jérémie with them. Throughout the trip, they learn to know, fight and love each other. In spite of a blooming relationship with Matthieu, Sam isolates himself because of his secret : he is headed for Spain to find his long-lost mother.
