Featured reviews
This film is based on sumptuous landscapes of Saharan Africa, between Morocco and Mali. A wonderful and picturesque road trip aboard an improbable 4L, a mythical French car of the 60s. Otherwise, the film is rather insubstantial with dialogues and characters with little interest, although the subject (i.e. a road trip between friends) is theoretically enticing. As a synthesis: 4 of 10 thanks to the landscapes and the mythical 4L.
It starts with a heartbeat,waking up your senses..it finaly (and I mean that with all my heart) with a smile and a heartbeat concluding this sahara-desert trip of 3 different characters bonded by either love or even deeper emotions (a real thirst of uncommon life to come, maybe?).
Well,let yourself feel the power of Africa,laugh and get emotional in between France Spain and Tombuctu 😉

I like to read user reviews rather then believing the rating.
But in this case, all you have to know is that this is a FEEL GOOD movie.
Not a masterpiece, there is no "true story" effect, not a blockbaster, but when you finish it, you are happy. And for me, that's more then enough.

Nice way to pass an evening. Plot isn't rock science, but well made and the characters are plausibly good and likeable.
A great road movie set in Africa.
Two old friends decide to set out to visit a companion they traveled with decades ago who is now apparently dying in Timbuktu. They pick up his his long estranged daughter and set forth. There is adventure and mis-adventure as they pick up an assortment of different characters on the road.
