For decades, legendary producer Jeremy Thomas has driven from England to the Cannes Film Festival. This time he is joined by Mark Cousins, author of The History of cinema: An Odyssey. In an intimate and visual five-day road movie through rural France, they remember some of the films produced by Thomas. Those are among the most acclaimed and controversial films of all times, such as Bernardo Bertolucci's The last emperor, which won 9 Oscar awards, including Best Picture, or David Cronenberg's Crash, which caused a scandal in Cannes. During the trip, images of films produced by Thomas are shown along with statements from some of the stars who have worked with him, such as Tilda Swinton and Debra Winger.
