Driving Madeleine
Directed by Christian Carion
Produced by Une Hirondelle Productions, Artémis Productions
A tender, character-driven comedy-drama about two strangers finding unexpected connection and meaning through a single taxi ride across Paris.
A seemingly simple taxi ride across Paris evolves into a profound meditation on the realities of the driver, whose personal life is in shambles, and his fare, an elderly woman whose warmth belies her shocking past.
