AFFFF26 A Dash of Love

When Mélanie (Julia Piaton, Like a Prince, AF FFF25), a brilliant lawyer, decides it’s time to live on her own terms, she persuades her old university friend Benjamin (Quentin Dolmaire, My Golden Days, AF FFF16) to join her on a road trip to Spain. Their unlikely driver is Lucas (Grégory Gadebois, Delicious, AF FFF21), a recently released ex-con and one of Mélanie’s clients, whom she convinces into taking the wheel. The improbable trio set off across sweeping landscapes, navigating suspicion and fears, laughter and longing. While Mélanie pushes forward with urgency, Benjamin seems in no hurry to arrive, quietly stretching detours and moments along the way, as if trying to make the road last a little longer... What begins as an impulsive escape slowly transforms into a tender exploration of freedom, intimacy, and the many shades of love. A vibrant ode to life and the courage to embrace joy whilst you can, the debut feature from Maël Piriou, A DASH OF LOVE is a tender and deeply human road movie you won’t want to miss! Inspired by the Flemish film Hasta la vista (2011) by Geoffrey Enthoven.
