Trailer & Synopsis

Yann (Hakim Jemili, A Good Doctor, AF FFF23) has only ever had one dream: to travel the world. So when the legendary Routard travel guide starts recruiting new explorers, he jumps at the opportunity and miraculously lands the job of a lifetime. There is just one small detail he forgets to mention: Yann has never travelled anywhere in his life.

His first assignment sends him straight into the deep end. Dispatched to Marrakech, he has just five days to inspect and validate forty recommended addresses. What initially sounds like the "best job in the world" quickly becomes a chaotic ordeal, as culture shock, exhaustion, and his total lack of experience collide at every turn.

Before he can regain control, Yann is unwillingly swept into a frantic and unpredictable hunt for a local treasure, transforming his professional mission into a wild and increasingly absurd escapade.

Along the way, he encounters larger-than-life characters played by Christian Clavier (Family Therapy, AF FFF25) and Michel Blanc (Take a Chance on Me, AF FFF24), in one of his final screen roles, delivering sharp, memorable comic moments.

Offbeat, fast and irresistibly chaotic, LE ROUTARD is the perfect invitation to laugh, escape, and get lost in a comedy of travel gone very wrong.

The Rookie Guide is showing in cinemas since March 04, 2026 to June 10, 2026
