Apple has shared a short French film directed by Michel Gondry on its French site and YouTube channel. Titled Détour, the short film is 11 minutes long and has been shot entirely on an iPhone. The director of the movie, Michel Gondry, is known for movies like The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep. 

The 11-minute short movie captures the journey of a girl’s tricycle that falls of her family’s car while they are travelling for their vacation. The tricycle then travels miles to meet with the girl, with the movie capturing the whole experience.
