The Taste of Palm Wine follows Ariane, the wealthiest woman in France, who escapes her gilded prison after being locked away by her family for lavishing gifts on a young lover. Fleeing with her longtime chauffeur, Aristide, a quiet and observant African man, the two embark on a meandering journey through Paris. For the first time, Ariane begins to see Aristide—not just as a driver, but as a man with a rich history, culture, and voice. Through his stories, flavors, and memories, Africa gently reveals itself as an unexpected path to freedom and healing. What begins as an escape becomes a surreal odyssey toward reconnection, dignity, and unlikely friendship.
