Film Synopsis
Aglaé is a single-minded young woman in her twenties who works at
a factory in France that specialises in crash testing. Her work, routine
though it is, is everything to her, so when the factory's bosses suddenly
announce that they intend relocating to the East to reduce their overheads
she refuses to accept her redundancy and opts instead to relocate herself
so that she can keep her job - in India. Understandably, her workmates
Liette and Marcelle think she is completely out of her mind, but they agree
to accompany her on the long journey to her new country of residence.
Aglaé has no intention of taking a plane. Instead, she sets
out in her car, beginning what will prove to be a long and arduous voyage
of discovery across two continents. In the end, she is left wondering
whether she has in fact made the right decision...
