AFFFF25 Meet the Leroys

In the tradition of on-the-road dramatic comedies like Little Miss Sunshine, MEET THE LEROYS is the moving story of the veneer we paint over lost connections and a reminder that even the brightest bonds, like stars, can fade, despite our best intentions. Sandrine Leroy (Charlotte Gainsbourg, My Dog Stupid, AF FFF20) is bitterly unhappy. When she announces her intention to divorce her husband, Christophe (José Garcia), he is left reeling. With Sandrine set on separation and their children feigning ambivalence, Christophe has only one thing left up his sleeve: a surprise, nostalgic road trip weekend with the entire family. The deal? If Sandrine doesn't change her mind by the end of the trip, he'll let her go. But is one weekend enough to overcome years of stale marriage? And how can they rekindle the passion that once consumed them? Directed by Florent Bernard, MEET THE LEROYS won the Grand Prix at the Alpe d'Huez Film Festival for its sincere depiction of a family in crisis. Inspired by Bernard's own experience of his parents’ divorce and shot in Burgundy where he grew up, the film is a bittersweet exploration of the things we lose without realising.
