Des jours meilleurs, a French comedy directed by Elsa Bennett and Hippolyte Dard, brings together Valérie Bonneton, Michèle Laroque and Sabrina Ouazani in an inspiring story of rebuilding and friendship. After its theatrical release in spring 2025, the film is now arriving on VOD in September, allowing audiences to discover or revisit it at home.
The trailer for Des jours meilleurs (Better Days) follows three women who have nothing in common, but who are united by an unlikely challenge: to take part in a rally in the Moroccan desert. With its mix of humor, emotion and self-transcendence, these images herald a comedy full of energy and hope.
Des jours meilleurs will be available on VOD from September 18, 2025.
Synopsis: Following a car accident, Suzanne loses custody of her three children. Forced to attend a treatment center for alcoholics, she meets Alice and Diane, two strong-willed women. Together, and with the support of a sports educator, they embark on the adventure of the Rallye des Dunes in Morocco, an experience that could transform their lives.
Des jours meilleurs tackles profound themes such as addiction, loss and personal reconstruction, while adopting the accessible tone of a comedy. The story highlights the solidarity between women, and how a sporting challenge becomes a metaphor for their struggle to regain hope and dignity.
The film is based on the performances of Valérie Bonneton, Michèle Laroque and Sabrina Ouazani, who play three different but complementary characters. Alongside them, Clovis Cornillac brings a human and benevolent dimension as a sports educator guiding this unlikely trio towards their goal.
Directed by Elsa Bennett and Hippolyte Dard, Des jours meilleurs is a comedy released in theaters in April 2025. Starring Valérie Bonneton, Michèle Laroque and Sabrina Ouazani, the film tells the story of three women brought together by a crazy project in the heart of the Moroccan desert. It will be available on VOD from September 18, 2025.
