Against everyone's advice, he decides to hike alone across France, from Provence to Mont Saint Michel, along forgotten paths through some of the most rugged, inhospitable and beautiful regions of France. Based on real events, this escape from the fast-paced world is a story of fortitude, healing, resilience and reconnection to nature and the deep self.

“The hero has a wild side - comments the director - like a wolf who observes the lives of men, keeping himself at a distance.In the same way, from the direction I tried to see him come out of a bush, cross the road and take off again into a grove like an animal.The black paths are traces left, which do not exist on the maps.They are paths traveled by wild animals. I liked this idea of ​​crossing.France has this perspective, these incredible lines of flight“.
