An original, hilarious approach to love over fifty where we discover the protagonists through up-beat lively dialogue, highlighted by what they are thinking but don't say.

Brigitte, fifty-something divorced mother, is at a turning point in her life. Since her husband left her five years before for a younger woman, she shares her time between her shop, her youngest daughter Laetitia, in full-blown adolescence and her best friend of always, Geneviève. As time passes, Brigitte begins to tire of always taking care of everybody else and the small yearning for a more fulfilling life becomes an urgent desire that demands satisfaction. On a whim, she answers an ad in the paper and goes on her first date with a man named Albert, a widower, retired history professor and a bit of a homebody.

Their encounter marks the beginning of a touching, funny and most improbable love story and a thousand questions about the nature of love and attachment. Can the flame of passion really burn after fifty? Is it possible to rebuild one's life so late? Are feelings stronger than prejudice?
