01
Why this pick
Its tender, scruffy coming-of-age energy turns an improvised escape into a funny, tactile adventure, with the same affection for oddball young people testing themselves outside ordinary life.
02
Why this pick
A youthful bid for self-sufficiency becomes a warm, comic wilderness adventure. It shares Love at First Fight’s playful treatment of survival fantasies and its genuine respect for inexperienced idealists.
03
Why this pick
A vivid, unconventional first-love story driven by two young people who unsettle each other’s routines. It has a more emotionally intense edge, but the same impulsive vitality and humane humor.
04
Why this pick
For the broad comic side of the pick, this French crowd-pleaser has energetic physical humor and an irreverent contemporary sensibility, though it is much more overtly farcical than Love at First Fight.
05
Why this pick
A guarded, directionless teenager is pulled toward action by an intense, unconventional girl. Its quieter, wistful approach preserves the central appeal of a romance that becomes a catalyst for growing up.

01 / THE STORY
Arnaud, facing an uncertain future and a dearth of choices in a small French coastal town, meets and falls for the apocalyptic-minded Madeleine, who joins an army boot camp to learn military and survival skills to prepare for the upcoming environmental collapse. Intrigued and excited by Madeleine’s wild ideas, Arnaud signs up for the boot camp himself. They soon realize that the boot camp is harder than they’d imagined, but the experience nonetheless cements them together as the couple continues to explore their young love.
