Better Days
When all seems lost, hope writes a new page.
Directed by Elsa Bennett, Hippolyte Dard
Produced by Daï Daï Films, France 3 Cinéma
A warm, character-driven redemption story about three women in recovery finding hope and solidarity through an unlikely desert rally challenge.
Following a car accident, Suzanne loses custody of her three children. She has no choice but to seek treatment at a center for alcoholics. As soon as she arrives, she meets Alice and Diane, two women with strong personalities. Denis, a sports instructor, will try to bring them together around the same goal: to participate in the Dune Rally in the Moroccan desert. He will need a lot of patience and teaching skills to prepare this unlikely team to achieve their goal.
