My Donkey, My Lover & I
Directed by Caroline Vignal
Produced by Chapka Films, France 3 Cinéma
A lighthearted romantic comedy about a woman's solo trek through the French countryside with an unlikely donkey companion, blending humor, scenic beauty, and the complications of desire.
Antoinette, a school teacher, is looking forward to her long planned summer holidays with her secret lover Vladimir, the father of one of her pupils. When learning that Vladimir cannot come because his wife organized a surprise trekking holiday in the Cévennes National Park with their daughter and a donkey to carry their load, Antoinette decides to follow their track, by herself, with Patrick, a protective donkey.
