La fuite de Monsieur Monde (2004)

Lionel Monde, the director of a big Parisian company, disappears on his 48th birthday. He abandons his family and his flourishing business. "He's just had enough". He is a powerful, prominent citizen, but he has no real relationships with other people - they are just for the sake of keeping appearances and a matter of habit. He is not intimate with his close relatives: his wife or his children. Too much affluence and money is isolating him. He can't take it anymore. He doesn't want it anymore. He wants to change his identity. He shaves off his mustache and swaps his elegant bourgeois clothes for an ordinary suit. He dresses as a pauper to blend in better in the faceless crowd. He travels south by train in second class. Monsieur Monde starts a new life: ''He didn't know where he was going or what he'd do. There wasn't anything ahead of him for now. He was in space."
