A Man in a Hurry
Directed by Hervé Mimran
Produced by Gaumont, France 2 Cinéma
A comedy-drama about a workaholic businessman forced by stroke-induced aphasia to slow down and reconnect with what matters, balancing humor with genuine emotional growth.
The story revolves around Alain, a busy businessman who is always in a rush. In his life, there is no room for spare time or family. But one day, he suffers a stroke, which makes him lose his grasp of language and use one word in place of another.
