Ride Away

Ride Away (À bicyclette!, 2025) is a French tragicomedy you can watch online on iFILM. Two aging friends climb onto their bikes and pedal clear across Europe, from the Atlantic coast to the Black Sea.

The route isn't random. Mathias's son rode it before he died far too young, and now the grieving father retraces every kilometer with his old companion Philippe. Flat tires, leaky tents, strangers met at roadside cafes, and the kind of honest talk that comes easier when you're staring at the road instead of each other. Director Matia Mlekuz takes one of the leads himself, with Philippe Rebbot beside him.

What makes the film land is its refusal to wallow. The ache of loss keeps bumping into absurd mishaps and the dry humor of two tired men on cheap bicycles. It's a quiet road movie for viewers who like small European cinema about mourning and the slow work of carrying on. Stream Ride Away (2025) online on iFILM.
