Film Synopsis

At 30, Agathe considers herself well and truly over the hill. She has never met the Prince Charming she has always dreamed of, and knows she never will. By contrast, at 84, Zerph is in the prime of his life. A fugitive from a far off planet where the women have had the upper hand for a hundred millennia, he has been pursued across space by two robotic serial killers and is only just starting to enjoy life. But what he desperately needs now is a safe hide out, an inconsequential backwater where no one will notice him until his Cryptalien friends come to his aid. So he lands his spaceship in France - Aurvergne to be precise. By a strange coincidence, this is the very place Agathe has chosen to spend her holiday...
