Synopsis

Contemporary road film about two solitary strangers--Paco, a traveling rep for a shoe company and Nino, a Russian who came to France for a marriage that didn't take--who meet in Bretagne.

After Marinette suggests that she and Paco assess their commitment to one another, the two friends set out on the road, meeting women and exploring the countryside.
