La Vallée des fous

A sailing enthusiast, Jean-Paul is going through a difficult period. He accumulates debts and distances himself from his loved ones. Determined to take control of his life, he signs up for Virtual Regatta, the virtual race of the Vendée Globe. He isolates himself for three months on his boat in his garden, putting himself in the mindset of a real skipper. This adventure will allow him to reconnect with his family, but more importantly, with himself. The tenth feature film by Xavier Beauvois (Le Petit Lieutenant, Des hommes et des dieux), produced by the renowned Sylvie Pialat, features his daughter Madeleine once again. A fantastic, intimate journey of stillness. One of the most touching films by the director.
