À l'aventure

**A journey toward desire and liberation** Sandrine is a young woman trapped in deep dissatisfaction with her work routine and intimate life; she decides to break away from her current surroundings in search of a more authentic sense of identity. During this quest, she meets an older philosopher and a psychiatrist who introduces her to therapies based on hypnosis, trance, and mysticism—tools she learns to use to dismantle her emotional blocks and social repressions. Through this process, the protagonist immerses herself in radical experimentation aimed at uniting her psychological well-being with her sexual freedom. "À L'Aventure" functions as an existential study of modern alienation and the human need for transcendence amidst intense social competition. Brisseau avoids moral judgment, focusing instead on the psychology of a young woman who uses her body as a means to heal her mind and escape the emptiness of daily life. The film portrays the vulnerability of the subconscious, revealing that Sandrine’s true liberation is a painful yet necessary process of mental deconstruction.
