Antoinette, a school teacher, is looking forward to her long planned summer holidays with her secret lover Vladimir, one of her pupils’ father. When she learns that Vladimir cannot come because his wife organized a surprise hike in the Ce?vennes National Park with their daughter and a donkey to carry their load, Antoinette decides to follow their track, by herself, with her own stubborn donkey.

“A hike in the footsteps of Stevenson. Accompanied by her donkey Laure Calamy well wanders off the beaten track. With only her second feature film in almost 20 years, Caroline Vignal has directed an anti-love affair comedy based on the theme "the important thing is to travel, not to arrive". The result is halfway between a Western in the Cévennes and a contemporary tale.”
