Synopsis

Félix lives in Dieppe with Daniel. A combination of circumstances allows him to carry out a longstanding plan: go to Marseille and meet the father he’s never known.

But Félix is a little bit romantic and rather than go by railroad, he’ll go by foot or thumbing rides. The beauty of blossoming spring and charms of chance encounters on the road quickly distract him from his path. He’d set out to meet his real father, but along the way he creates an ideal family: a little brother, grandmother, cousin, sister. –uniFrance
