Jean Fernandez goes to America

Jean Fernandez, the average "Frenchie", has a life-long passion : American cars and American movies ! Once he hits 37, he finally fulfils his biggest dream : a grand tour of the United States of America in his very own vintage Ford of 1955 ! In his own words : he wants to take his beloved car back home, "to the land of its birth". Jean's vivid imagination, his exceptional eye for detail and his uninhibited approach to people have produced an entertaining and personal film, a road movie across the united states of today and yesterday. Across the windscreen of his Ford, we see a mythical country flying by under the tender – sometimes caustic – eye of a colourful character. Pictures, sensations and music that have remained engraved in our collective memory... Images of wide, open spaces, of road side diners and bits and pieces straight out of a TV cult series...
