简介：Synopsis Like the concrete that pours into the foundations of the tower blocks he builds, Joseph Cross is solid, strong, and reliable. But one night, he jumps into his car after taking a mysterious call and leaves the site of the most prestigious construction project of his career. The decision is his: left or right, different destinies. With the other foundations of his life crumbling beneath him, Joseph hits the road alone with his demons and his cellphone. COMMENTARY A long journey into the night, between the voice of Joseph and the many others that are heard on the telephone: obsessed, tense, anxiety-producing, Le choix is a remake of Locke, the 2013 film written and directed by Steven Knight and starring Tom Hardy. The story of a life that is transformed into a claustrophobic thriller. DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT Will Joseph Cross, the builder, risk demolishing everything he has built in his life only to achieve what he believes is right? Cross Away is an existentialist thriller that questions the ethics of responsibility. To film a man alone in his car is to believe that there is no landscape more fascinating than a man's face.

Audiences get attached to characters they can identify with. As soon as you offer them a story and they think: “Hey, that could be me!”. You're halfway there. The other half is Vincent Lindon.
