FILM OF THE DAY
MY DONKEY, MY LOVER & I
by Caroline Vignal
→Watch the Trailer
Join our Closing Zoom Discussion around MY DONKEY, MY LOVER & I (Antoinette dans les Cévennes) with le Professeur Kevin Elstob & the SFFF Team, today @ 6:30pm.
From female director Caroline Vignal, this sassy comedy is illuminated by the radiant Laure Calamy in a breakthrough role. You may know Calamy from the acclaimed TV show Call My Agent, available on Netflix (which also stars Grégory Montel, Perfumes – playing this year at the MiniFest). You also may recognize her from Sibyl (Virtual Cinema – September 2020) and Our Struggles (SFFF 2019).
Antoinette (Calamy) is a school teacher looking forward to her long-planned summer holidays with her secret lover Vladimir (Benjamin Lavernhe, C’est la vie! – MiniFest 2018), the father of one of her students. But, on the night of the school talent show, Vladimir unexpectedly cancels: his wife (Olivia Côte) has organized a surprise trek in the Cévennes National Park (southeast France) with their daughter and a donkey! Disappointed and now free for the week, Antoinette decides to follow them and give Vladimir a surprise of her own! When she arrives, Vladimir and his family are not there yet, but she is introduced to Patrick – the recalcitrant but endearing donkey who will be her companion on a majestic and hilarious journey.
Antoinette and Patrick take us along as they travel on a trail made famous by Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson in his 1879 book Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes. The trail that runs for approximately 140 miles now bears his name: Le Chemin de Stevenson.
My Donkey, My Lover & I is paired with the short film OUT OF RANGE by Yijia Cao, Lana Choukroune & Cécile Guillard
Sue, a lawyer living her life in the fast lane, is on her way to the most important meeting of her career when her car breaks down. Forced to wander into a forest, it is while getting lost that she will find herself.
