The Rookie Guide

Yann is stuck in a cycle of unsatisfying jobs and dreams of a life that finally feels earned. When he learns that the famous travel guide Le Routard pays its staff to travel the world, he decides to chase a carefree, income generating escape. He breezes through a trial research trip to Morocco, convinced this will be a dream gig, only to discover that the job is tougher and messier than he imagined. The lure of Sofia, a sharp and fearless local guide, pulls him deeper into a crooked scheme run by the notorious Docteur Charoux, an art dealer with a dark streak. Before long, carefully laid plans unravel, and a chaotic sequence of missteps takes the lead for Yann.
