À bicyclette !, the comedy-drama directed by and starring Mathias Mlekuz, will be broadcast on Canal+ on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, at 9:10 p.m. Released in theaters on February 26, 2025, the film brings together Mathias Mlekuz and Philippe Rebbot on a bicycle trip across Europe that is funny, modest, and moving.
Mathias, a grieving father, decides to retrace the journey his son Youri had undertaken before his tragic death. He takes his friend Philippe along on this journey from the Atlantic to the Black Sea. The trip becomes an intimate adventure where friendship, loss, and the need for reconciliation intertwine, transforming the road into a true path of resilience.
The film stands out for its perfect tone, striking a balance between subtle humor and sincere emotion. Mlekuz has created a personal work about rebuilding and forgiveness, carried by fluid direction and a perfectly complementary duo of actors. Philippe Rebbot, true to his repertoire of awkward humanity, brings a touch of tenderness and self-deprecation to the story.
À bicyclette ! is in the tradition of intimate road movies where the journey becomes a metaphor for grief and rebirth. Through European landscapes, the film celebrates human connections, simplicity, and slowness, offering a peaceful look at rebuilding after loss.
With À bicyclette !, Mathias Mlekuz delivers a dramatic comedy on a human scale, between laughter and tears. The film explores the pain of a father without pathos and celebrates the strength of sincere friendships. A luminous story, both modest and universal, which makes the bicycle a symbol of freedom and hope.
