Film Synopsis

Who would have thought that a car journey to a wedding could be so eventful?  Chantal, Gabrielle and Nelly are three friends, now in their fifties, who have not the slightest inkling of the slew of mishaps and misunderstandings that are about to rain down upon them as they take to the road and head for the island of La Rochelle to attend the wedding of one of their former spouses.  It's an ideal opportunity for the women to exchange confidences and tell a few home truths, but in doing so they can't help falling out and lamenting the way life has treated them so far.  There's nothing like a car journey to make or break a friendship, and, as these three feisty fifty-year-olds soon discover, a trouble shared is a trouble trebled...
