Le bonheur est une bête sauvage

Antoine, a forty-year-old Parisian architect, discovers his perfect life is merely a carefully constructed illusion. "Happiness is a wild beast," an old friend tells him, and these words become prophetic when Antoine's routine shatters after an unexpected encounter with a woman from his past. He embarks on a journey through the French countryside, confronting absurd situations, eccentric characters, and his own unresolved demons. The film balances on the edge of comedy and drama, exploring whether happiness can be captured or if, like a wild animal, it always slips away. The visual style contrasts Parisian aesthetics with rural chaos, creating a tension between order and freedom.
