Audrey Tautou will star in Michel Gondry's next film Microbes et gasoil, Digital Spy reveals.

The actress will reunite with the director after starring in his latest film Mood Indigo.

"It's a sort of coming-of-age movie with two teenagers who are outcasts, and you see them sort of struggling with the rest of the class at school," Gondry told Nerdist.

"They eventually build a car, and they go and cross France with their special car that they've built. But they've built the car in the shape of a house so the cops cannot arrest them.

"They are not of an age to drive, so when the cops drive by, they stop the car and it looks like a house. So they have many funny adventures. It's quite imaginative, but it's gonna be shot in a very realistic manner."

Tautou features opposite Romain Duris in Mood Indigo, which will be released on July 18 in the US and August 1 in the UK.
