Five misfits on a road trip from Berlin to Paris bond and clash, take many detours, and find themselves smuggling a refugee in this comedy-drama with a social conscience.
When a Parisian father-to-be (Cyril Gueï) accepts a freelance job driving four people of different nationalities home from Berlin in an electric vehicle, trouble ensues when one passenger (Léo Daudin) reveals he is a refugee. Transporting refugees across borders is harshly penalized in the EU, and the group faces some uncomfortable choices. Each of the passengers has their own problems to deal with, too. Featuring a great ensemble cast, sharp editing and cinematography, French director Sylvie Michel’s modern road movie is both a comic character study and a stinging critique of the marginalization of refugees.
Limited seats are available for patrons requiring access for wheelchairs, low vision and hearing loop. Please contact our ticketing team directly on 1300 733 733 or tickets@sff.org.au to complete your booking.
