The Sweet Escape

"The Sweet Escape" follows the journey of Michel, a middle-aged graphics artist who trades in his mundane routine for a life of adventure on the water. Inspired by the sleek design of kayaks, which he thinks resemble aircraft fuselages, Michel orders one online and sets off on a solo trip down a picturesque river. Along the way, he encounters a cast of quirky characters, including a riverside bar owner, her charming employees, and a young waitress who captures his heart. As he navigates the twists and turns of his escapade, Michel discovers that life's greatest pleasures can be found in the unlikeliest of places. With a star-studded French cast, including Bruno Podalydès and Sandrine Kiberlain, this lighthearted comedy sparkles with humor and charm.
