The Art of slipping away
"A reluctant lawyer, Théo dreams of photography. His encounter with Rosette, a bohemian aunt living on a sailboat, turns his life upside down. A skillful manipulator, she draws him into a story about free women, where Théo finally finds the courage to follow his true passion, far from his settled life with Adeline."

Synopsis : Théo, a young Parisian lawyer, leads a comfortable, frictionless life — one that was chosen for him. He works in his father's firm, lives with Adeline, an ambitious and driven woman. Something, however, eludes him.
An inheritance case brings him face to face with Rosette, an aunt his father has kept at a distance for years. Rosette lives on a sailboat in Brittany and is preparing to leave everything behind for the Pacific. Free-spirited, eccentric, uncompromising.
Between the two of them, a project takes shape: to photograph together five women who had the courage to live entirely on their own terms. For Théo, it becomes as much an inward journey as an outward one — a confrontation with his fears, his buried desires, and the question he has never dared to ask himself: what life did he actually want?
Private screening in Paris. First reactions.
"Like two strands of wool dancing in the breeze, Théo and Rosette escape on the waves, carried by the same breeze."
