Jump into Michel Gondry’s (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) extraordinary universe with his newest feature Microbe & Gasolin. The wild adventures of two teenagers who are somewhat marginalised: the tiny "Microbe" and the inventive "Gasoil". As the summer holidays get ever nearer, the two friends have no intention of spending the two months with their families. So with the help of a lawnmower engine and various planks of wood, they decide to build their own "car" and set off on an adventurous road trip around France...

A fantasist buddy-movie, charmingly old-fashioned and sprinkled with Gondry’s own childhood memories.

"A total charmer. Ramshackle, but entirely cohesive and purposeful film making" ★★★★ Little White Lies

"If this film were a person, you’d want to give it a big hug" ★★★★ The Guardian

"a wonderfully touching film" ★★★★ Time Out
