After the death of his mother, Felix discovers a box of letters form his father, who deserted his mother before he was born, complete with an address in Marseille. He decides to find him, and so the seeds of an adventure are sown... Leaving Dieppe, and promising to meet his lover Daniel five days later in Marseille, Felix takes to the road. He decides to hitchhike across France, avoiding all major cities en route. His journey is shaped by the people and situations he encounters along the way. Five days also give him time to reflect on the complex feelings around meeting his father for the first time. The journey itself ultimately becomes more important than the goal, and the people he meets along the way create an alternative, extended family that more than makes up for the one he never had.

The Adventures of Felix review by Kurtz
Voyage of (self) discovery
(2) of (2) members found this review helpful.
As cheery and freewheeling as its eponymous hero, “Drôle de Félix” is a likeable travelogue which charts the progress of Félix from Dieppe in Normandy to Marseilles and beyond in search of his long-lost father. On the way, he meets a cast of colourful characters who seem to represent members of the family that he never had. Félix is perpetually cheerful and prone to breaking into song and doing a little jig for no apparent reason, but there is a serious side to the tale too, as a racist murder haunts his progress through the beautiful countryside.
