Happy Road Trip to You

Ever dreamed of receiving a trip as a birthday present? If you were to ask French people what their dream destination for such a gift would be, without hesitation, their answer would be the United States. With one exception: Louis. This strapping young man with the vocabulary of a lord of the manor, but a geek on the edges, preferring numbers and his apartment to his fellow human beings, is certainly happy about the trip, but manages to restrain his excitement.

His girlfriend, Chantal, of Nepalese origin, is organized, yet shy, and always in the shadows. She's convinced she'll make him happy by planning their vacation. The highlights? Silicon Valley, then San Diego, and a very special event: Comic-Con. If every religious believer has their place of pilgrimage, then superhero fans also have theirs. It's here at Comic-Con where the stars of action movies and series meet their costumed fans from all around the world.

Well, that's the plan anyway. Unfortunately, a tiny mistake has been made with the reservations. Right Chantal?

Forced to change their plans, our lovebirds will visit all the iconic places in the American West, while at the same time find themselves far outside their comfort zone. Due to some unexpected and surprising encounters, our heroes will discover a whole new section of American culture, and, in so doing, will break some clichés and confirm many others.

Two things are certain: 1) during this trip Chantal and Louis will make good use of their superhero costumes, and 2) they'll never go on a road trip again. We won't force them to either! Too much adventure kills a sense of adventure.
