An American woman in a tired marriage finds herself on an unforeseen road trip from Cannes to Paris with a dashing Frenchman. What should be a seven-hour drive unexpectedly takes two days with many diversions: picturesque sites, fine food and wine, humour, fun, wisdom — and romance.

This is the first film by Eleanor Coppola since her debut, "Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse" (1991). [Eleanor Coppola is married to Francis Ford Coppola.]
