Le Plein de super
Alain Cavalier · 1976
Synopsis
They are twenty-five. A young car salesman from the North has to drive a big American car to its new owner on the Côte d'Azur, and takes an old friend with him. On the way, having passed through Paris, they find themselves, despite themselves, four in the car, two other men having joined them. Together they drive towards the southern sun, between conversations and encounters.
Context
The screenplay was written by the director with his performers, Patrick Bouchitey, Étienne Chicot, Bernard Crombey and Xavier Saint-Macary; Nathalie Baye also appears in it.

It was restored in 2K from its original negative, and Radiance Films has released it for English-speaking audiences, with subtitles.
Who it is for
