Rarely have there been two people so fundamentally different from each other as  down on her luck, Marie-Line and the older male judge who rules against her, when she is brought before his court. Yet this same judge sees something in Marie-Line that nobody else does, and hires her to be his driver.
The result is a poignant, fun-filled and ultimately life-changing road trip, filled with heated debate, misadventures and personality clashes. They're a gloriously mismatched odd couple, whose journey together results in a heartwarming and delightful film about the most unlikely of friendships and the unexpected joys of second chances.

Marie-Line, the heroine, has not been spared by life, but she has a very strong drive for life, a joie de vivre. I like this kind of female character who has difficulties but fights on. And the character of the judge is close to me: a bit lonely, a bit reserved.” Jean-Pierre Améris
