Ulysse doit partir

A restless accordionist returns to his childhood town, where memories tug at the edges of a quiet life. In the face of aging, small heartbreaks, and lingering questions about belonging, he improvises a plan to leave—one that feels both urgent and uncertain. Along the road, old friends and unexpected strangers cross his path, each encounter briefly reframing his sense of purpose. The film moves with patient, lyrical rhythm, letting ordinary moments—a chorus of mornings, a fleeting smile, a shared meal—build toward a decision that weighs freedom against continuity. In the end, the journey becomes a tender meditation on home and self.
