Synopsis

Passionate about sailing, Jean-Paul passes a difficult pass. He accumulates debts and moves away from his own. Determined to take his life into his own hands, he enrolled in Virtual Regatta the virtual race of the Vendée Globe. He puts himself in the conditions of a real skipper by insulating himself for 3 months on his boat in his garden - This trip like no other, will allow him to reconnect with his family but above all with himself.—Christian_Wolfgang_Barth

Community Reviews

Viewers generally find 'La vallée des fous' emotionally compelling and well-acted, particularly praising Jean-Paul Rouve's performance. The film's unique premise of a virtual Vendée Globe race conducted from a garden captures attention, though some find the pacing uneven and the plot somewhat implausible. Despite these criticisms, the movie is appreciated for its deep human connection and themes of redemption and resilience.

👍 Jean-Paul Rouve's performance is highly praised.

👎 Some viewers find the film slow and predictable.
