Charles (Dany Boon) is a taxi driver in Paris, and he is having a very bad day. Some pressing personal debts are due, he\u2019s in danger of losing his driver\u2019s license to numerous traffic infractions, and his marriage, like Charles himself, is strained to the point of snapping. A quick fare in the suburbs seems like an easy distraction. Enter Madeleine (Line Renaud), an immaculately groomed 92-year-old woman, who informs Charles that the trip today will not be a direct one.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cohenmedia.net\/product\/driving-madeleine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH NOW<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DRIVING MADELEINE | 2024\u00a0 \u2013\u00a0 91&#8242;\u00a0 &#8211; Drama, Comedy Written by:\u00a0Cyril Gely, Christian Carion.
