Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on September 25, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Gael Morel! May your day be filled with more drama than "Les chemins de l'oued," but fewer plot twists. Your films have captivated audiences and critics alike—proving that French cinema is alive, well, and delightfully unpredictable.

From crafting compelling narratives to directing scenes that linger in our minds long after the credits roll, you've truly mastered storytelling. Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success (and perhaps a comedy or two?). Keep inspiring us all with your cinematic brilliance—and remember: birthdays are like film sequels; they just keep getting better!

Cheers to another fantastic year!
