Synopsis
A tale revolving around the carefree bon-vivant Felix, who is content living with his boyfriend, Daniel in the town of Dieppe in Northern France. When Felix is laid off from his job, he decides to take a road trip to Marseilles to track down the father he's never met. Backpack in tow, Felix sets out walking, hitching, and borrowing cars to get to the south of France. Springtime is budding, nature is at its best, and some unique characters await Felix along the dirt roads and byways of the French countryside.
