Synopsis: Charles (Dany Boon) is a taxi driver in Paris, and he’s having a very bad day. Pressing personal debts are due, he’s in danger of losing his driver’s licence and his marriage is falling apart.

Enter Madeleine (Line Renaud), an immaculately groomed 92-year-old woman, who informs Charles that the trip today will not be a direct one. She’s moving into a care home and would like to make some stops along the way, as this might be her last car ride through the city.

Charles grumbles but is slowly charmed by Madeleine’s warmth and fascinated by her tales as she slowly reveals the dramatic and shocking story of her life. She reminds us that inside every seemingly benign elderly woman we might pass on the street is a warrior, a nurturer, and a spirited adventurer.

“Driving Madeleine works perfectly with its double-mirrored narrative simplicity, carried by two actors who enjoy wonderful natural chemistry.” – Cineuropa.

Synopsis: Olivier Peyon’s graceful romantic drama stars highly acclaimed actors Guillaume de Tonquébec and Victor Belmondo and is adapted from Philippe Besson’s book Arrête avec tes Mensonges, which won the 2017 Maison de la Presse award and the 2017 Psychologies Award for inspiring novels.

Upon agreeing to be the brand ambassador for a famous cognac celebrating their bicentennial, novelist Stéphane Belcourt returns to his hometown for the first time in many years. Memories come rushing back to him: irrepressible attraction and a passion that can never be revealed as he remembers Thomas, his first love.

Fate intervenes, when he meets his first love’s son, Lucas.
