Pierre is a celebrated writer with a penchant for extreme experiences. One drunken evening, he climbs the facade of a building and falls several storeys. The resulting accident leaves him in a coma for days and when he comes out of it, he's barely able to stand. Against everyone’s advice, he decides to hike across the country, from Provence to Mont-Saint-Michel. His route takes in forgotten trails through some of France's beautiful regions.
One of the hits of the 2023 French Film Festival – this is a powerful story of healing and reconnection to nature.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
