Marc Esquirol's debut feature film is a fresh approach to the lives, desires and aspirations of a very young generation. A member of that generation himself and a ESCAC graduate, Esquirol follows Marc, a student aspiring to become a filmmaker, on a two-day trip to West South of France with his friend Laia in an effort to overcome a heartbreak and looking for new experiences. Esquirol's playful style is beautiful and unpretentious with winks to the Nouvelle Vague's roadtrip films.
