At fifty, Aurore (Jaoui) is unemployed, separated, about to become a grandmother, and facing a lonely old age when she by chance reconnects with her first love, Totoche (Thibault de Montalembert). Reinvigorated by the encounter, she refuses to be marginalised by society simply because she is getting older, instead renegotiating the key relationships in her life and drawing greater comfort from her circle of women friends.

Skilfully crafted, often very funny, and frequently moving, this is a warm and timely portrait of a usually overlooked section of society.
