Sick of being sick, 80-year-old Marie has an alternative plan. In remission for eight years, her cancer is back — stage four this time — and she refuses to spend her final days in chemotherapy. Instead, she ropes Rudy, an unsuspecting eldercare worker, into driving her to Switzerland for an assisted suicide procedure. But she can’t bring herself to tell her son or granddaughter the truth. What follows is a tragicomic, heartfelt, and deeply human road trip, with as many laughs as tears.
.
✨ The chemistry between Hélène Vincent and Pierre Lottin - reunited after François Ozon’s "When Fall Is Coming" - is, as ever, a pleasure to behold.
.
The screening is presented in association with Ginger & Fed as part of the 29th edition of The American French Film Festival, taking place October 28 – November 3, 2025, in Los Angeles.

“Baise-en-ville” by Martin Jauvat screens on Saturday, 11/1 at 11:00 AM in Los Angeles, as part of the 29th edition of The American French Film Festival. 🇫🇷✨
.
This U.S. Premiere marks the return of one of French cinema’s most distinctive young voices. With his trademark blend of humor, sincerity, and poetic absurdity, Martin Jauvat takes us on an offbeat and tender exploration of love, loneliness, and connection in the suburbs of Paris — where the everyday becomes quietly extraordinary. Starring Emmanuelle Bercot and Michel Hazanavicius.

The screening, presented in association with @francetele and @eccefilmspage will be followed by a conversation with the filmmaker.
