A cab ride takes us across Paris and into the past in Christian Carion’s moving drama that will, by journey’s end, have motored its way to your heart and, most likely, your tearducts.
Charles (Dany Boon) is a stressed-out cabbie who is two points away from losing his licence when he is offered a bumper fare to drive a passenger from one side of the city to the other. His pick-up is Madeleine (veteran star Line Renaud) and the lingering glance Carion shows her giving her house is enough for us to know that this is a one-way trip. Madeleine is 92 and enjoyably curmudgeonly as she gets into Charles’ cab, but it’s not long before she’s regaling him with the tale of how she met the American GI who, through a brief liaison, became the father of her son Mathieu (played as a youngster by Hadriel Roure and then.
