Bouquet and Darroussin are a couple in a crisis and Darroussin is becoming crazy because of the lack of love from his wife and on the road to Bordeaux going pick-up their children they have an argument and Bouquet leaves him and disappears.
This is the kind of movie that's the reason of the bad reputation of actual overal french movies. Carole Bouquet is a real stereotype and is not very believable. Almost all the secondary actors (men at the bar, doctor, bad guy, etc.) are not very convincing and pff, it was really boring and predictable. In the beginning I had the impression of watching the kind of movie of filmmakers that just finished a filmschool: academic directing, actors over-acting (especially bouquet), bad setting of the relationship between the couple bouquet-Darroussin. It's a pity to see so much energy (a lot of settings are used) wasted for such a result. Maybe it's a disguised publicity for Rover because we see that car a lot!
