Featured reviews
I like to read user reviews rather then believing the rating.
But in this case, all you have to know is that this is a FEEL GOOD movie.
Not a masterpiece, there is no "true story" effect, not a blockbaster, but when you finish it, you are happy. And for me, that's more then enough.

Nice way to pass an evening. Plot isn't rock science, but well made and the characters are plausibly good and likeable.
The free spirit is there, however, not the realism. A fun watch though. I cannot really understand a sex scene after a week with no shower or teeth brushing mixed with a dirty environment...probably could have done without that.
A very charming film with a multicultural cast, each adding his own talent to a sensitive and sometimes comic story. Light and well written, it takes us on a transaarinen journey, that offers a visually interesting glimpse of deep Africa (from Tangiers/Morocco to Timbuktu/Mali) on board of a french iconic car: the Renault 4L, best known in France as "catrelle". Also a self-discovery journey, as the relationship among the characters and with the challenges of the desert unfold.
It starts with a heartbeat,waking up your senses..it finaly (and I mean that with all my heart) with a smile and a heartbeat concluding this sahara-desert trip of 3 different characters bonded by either love or even deeper emotions (a real thirst of uncommon life to come, maybe?).
Well,let yourself feel the power of Africa,laugh and get emotional in between France Spain and Tombuctu 😉
