Les Matins merveilleux debuts at Cannes, a disco‑inspired drama

French director Avril Besson's debut feature *Les Matins merveilleux* was presented in a special screening at the Cannes Film Festival. The narrative follows a young woman, portrayed by India Hair, who sets out on a road trip to Le Lavandou after her grandmother's death, charged with delivering a collection of vintage disco vinyl records to an unknown recipient. Along the Mediterranean coast she meets various characters, allowing the story to shift from grief toward renewal while maintaining a sunny, dance‑floor ambience. Produced on a modest budget, the trio of leads – Hair, Raya Martigny and Eric Cantona – deliver warm, natural performances that underscore Besson's determination to bring the film to fruition.
