Antoinette, a schoolteacher, is looking forward to her long planned summer holiday with her married lover Vladimir, the father of one of her pupils. When she learns that Vladimir has to cancel because his wife organized a surprise hiking vacation, Antoinette decides to follow their tracks, accompanied by a protective donkey named Patrick.
“In this idiosyncratic comedy from France, a besotted schoolteacher crashes her married lover’s hiking trip and befriends a deeply opinionated donkey.” — Beatrice Loayza, New York Times
“Refreshing, amusing and utterly enjoyable. With its easy pace and genial company, My Donkey, My Lover & I is a journey worth taking.” — Kristen Page-Kirby, Washington Post
