Synopsis

Sick of being sick, 80-year-old Marie has an alternative plan. In remission for eight years, her cancer is back and has now reached stage four. She’s definitely not going to spend her final days in chemotherapy. Not again. So she ropes Rudy, an unsuspecting eldercare worker, into driving her to Switzerland for an assisted suicide procedure. Yet she can’t bring herself to tell her son or her granddaughter the truth. What ensues is a tragicomic, heartfelt, dysfunctional-family road trip with as many laughs as tears. And the chemistry between actors Hélène Vincent and Pierre Lottin — reunited after François Ozon’s 2024 When Fall Is Coming — is, as ever, a pleasure to behold.

Director’s Biography

The daughter of comic-turned-filmmaker Olivier Baroux, Enya Baroux began her career as an actress, appearing in 24 episodes of the series Studio Bagel (2015-2025) and François Descraques’ feature The Visitor from the Future (2022). She wrote and directed three shorts of her own, then co-wrote and co-directed Cache-Cash (2019) with Martin Darondeau, which won two prizes at the Meudon Short Film Festival. The twosome went on to co-direct the Canal+ short-form series Fleur bleue (2024-2025). Bon Voyage, Marie, her first feature, premiered at this year’s Festival de l’Alpe d’Huez, where Hélène Vincent and Juliette Gasquet shared the Best Actress Award.
