Written by the director, the story revolves around a man who leaves everything behind to cross France, aimlessly wandering the landscape and having chance encounters (sexual or otherwise): over four days and four nights, as he loses his way, the person who loves him will attempt to find him again through Grindr, a mobile-phone dating app...

Produced by Elisabeth Perez for Chaz Productions, Jours de France is being co-produced by TSF and Film Factory. Having also been supported by the CNC’s advance on receipts, the Cineventure Sofica and the Centre region (Ciclic), the feature will be distributed in France by KMBO, with international sales still under negotiation.
