Drifting Laurent
Watch TrailerLaurent, a forty-year-old Parisian, realizes his life is an endless loop of dating app encounters, corporate parties, and empty startup chatter. After a ridiculous incident at his best friend's wedding, he decides to change everything: quits his marketing job, sells his apartment, and sets off hitchhiking through the French countryside. Instead of five-star hotels — a couch at a stranger's house; instead of business lunches — conversations with winemakers, farmers, and retirees. This 2025 comedy-drama explores the modern midlife crisis through an ironic escape from the digital world to simple human connections. Gradually, Laurent discovers that real freedom begins not with a new location, but with the ability to listen — both to himself and to others.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director employs the camera as an observer: long takes capture awkward pauses in conversations, while location shooting in small towns creates a sense of documentary realism. The humor emerges from contrast — between Laurent's glamorous memories and his current mundane misadventures.
Anyone ready for a story that swaps cynicism for quiet warmth will find something genuine here. The film avoids saccharine resolutions but leaves room for hope in human adaptability. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Anton Balekdjian
