Ballade à blanc (1983)
Jean, a young Breton working at the shipyards in Toulon, chafes under routine and confinement. Living with his cousin Simone, he one day vanishes—leaving behind her money and a gun. He embarks on a wanderlust‑fuelled journey, hitchhiking into the unknown, guided only by chance encounters and longing for freedom.
