FEW WORDS...
Some Sunny Days is a road-movie produce with poor means and about poor people.
Robert, main character of the movie, leaves on his bike to look for a fridge through the countryside of South West in France ( Les landes ). It's simple : it would have been easier to take a car to buy one in a supermarket...
Anyway, he lives on little and has not much money.
Some Sunny Days is a silent movie.
The characters speak a little. Just as much to try to understand each others, and also to be polite.
The sounds of crickets, flies, woods, forest and water is more present than their voices.
Some Sunny Days is an absurd movie.
We enter in an "extra" ordinary and odd world.
The characters have no particular social identity.
They all meet by accident and have to bear each other until they can finally escape.
Everyone wants to stay in his own world. In a way, they are narrow-minded, lonely and anti social.
Men speak little, women like hens and noone is able to understand, nor really appreciate each other...
