A Hint of Love

Mélanie, a lawyer battling an incurable illness, decides to seize the day. She enlists her childhood friend Benjamin for a road trip toward Spain, seeking a reckless escape that will shake up both their lives. They hitch a ride in a battered van piloted by Lucas, a largehearted driver just out of prison. As the trip unfolds, the trio drifts between humor and honesty, with Mélanie craving sensual awakening and Benjamin dragged along by curiosity and loyalty. The plan to visit a brothel becomes a rumor of freedom rather than a simple quest, reshaping their friendships and desires along the way. Their conversations drift from jokes to confessions, revealing fears they've kept hidden.

Directed by Maël Piriou, Pierre De Clercq and Asta Philpot, this spirited road comedy harnesses a compact cast and tight chemistry. Released in 2025, it is an original script rather than an adaptation aimed at adult audiences.

On paper this road comedy mixes humor with bold emotional beats. Mélanie's choice to live fully offers a platform for candid conversations about illness, desire and friendship, while Benjamin's reluctance provides tension that slowly softens into loyalty.

Critics could praise the film's willingness to face mortality while keeping the mood light, though some may wish for sharper punch lines and crisper pacing.
