Get a Way

Running time: 88 mins

Director Noah Nuer presents a heartwarming comedy about two young Parisians who come together to improve each other's lives. Get a Way urges its characters and its viewers to change the course of their future-to stop hiding from life and start embracing it. Didier is a disaffected young man with no apparent direction and a tenuous relationship with his uptight sister, Claire. After a bad encounter with his absent father, Didier nearly runs his van into Anne, a student upset about failing her exams and at odds with her strict parents. The two spend a day venting about their family problems and helping each other mend relationships with their parents. Anne and Didier, however, must stop trying to get away from life and begin finding ways back into it. Get a Way is an amusing and uplifting film with real-life implications. In our society where broken homes and dysfunctional parent-child relationships are the rule rather than the exception, Get a Way offers a ray of hope for those of us yearning to mend relationships that have soured over the years.
