Géraldine Danon's latest film,Flo, was enthusiastically presented at the Cinéma de la Plage during the Cannes 2023 Film Festival. This biopic sheds light on the extraordinary life of Florence Arthaud, the famous French sailor known as "the little fiancée of the Atlantic". Renowned for her exceptional achievements in a predominantly male environment, Arthaud made sailing history with her dazzling victory in the Route du Rhum in 1990.
Flo is available on Netflix from February 1, 2025.
Synopsis: Known as the "Little Bride of the Atlantic", Florence Arthaud was above all a great sailor. Her exceptional record of achievement, unique in this male-dominated world, culminated in her victory in the Route du Rhum in 1990.
Beyond these exploits, FLO recounts the incredible destiny of a fiercely free woman who - after a road accident that almost cost her her life - decided to reject her bourgeois milieu and the life that had been laid out for her, to live her dreams to the full.
Flo promises to be a captivating drama that immerses audiences in the fascinating world of Florence Arthaud. The film is written and directed by Géraldine Danon, who has carefully studied the navigator 's life to do justice to her exceptional story. As a biopic, Flo is based on true events and seeks to faithfully reflect the key moments in Arthaud's life.
Flo' s casting is equally impressive, with Stéphane Caillard in the lead role of Florence Arthaud. Alexis Michalik and Alison Wheeler complete the cast. The talented Yann Queffélec, himself a renowned writer and sailor, also contributes to the script.
Although we haven't yet had the chance to see the film, Flo looks promising, offering a captivating glimpse into the life of a woman who broke convention and followed her own path. Viewers can expect to be transported by the legendary sailor's poignant tale and inspired by her courage in the face of adversity.
