Michael Polish · 2011 · road

Michael Polish's 2011 black-and-white romance, shot guerrilla-style in France in homage to the French New Wave. Two former lovers, each married to someone else, meet by chance in Paris and run away together, travelling by train, car, and motorcycle from Normandy down to St. Tropez in a brief, intense, doomed affair.

1. 1
   Paris

   On assignment in Paris, the photographer Sofia runs into Yves, the lover she never quite got over, and the two of them flee the city together.

2. 2
   Normandy

   By train and car and motorcycle they drift along the Norman coast, married to other people and helplessly back in love.

3. 3
   The French Countryside

   South through France they wander, in stolen days that belong to no one but each other.

4. 4
   St. Tropez

   They reach the Riviera at St. Tropez, where the affair must either end or break two other lives apart.
