Enredo

Madeleine, leaves small suburban to join a nursing home, on the other side of Paris. Charles, a taxi driver, comes to pick her and in no hurry to reach, she asks him to go through places of the capital, which have counted in her life.

A seemingly simple taxi ride across Paris evolves into a profound meditation on the realities of the driver, whose personal life is in shambles, and his fare, an elderly woman whose warmth belies her shocking past. Charles (Dany Boon) is a taxi driver in Paris, and he is having a very bad day. Some pressing personal debts are due, he's in danger of losing his driver's license to numerous traffic infractions, and his marriage, like Charles himself, is strained to the point of snapping. A quick fare in the suburbs seems like an easy distraction. Enter Madeleine (Line Renaud), an immaculately groomed 92-year-old woman, who informs Charles that the trip today will not be a direct one. She is moving into a care home and would like to make some stops along the way, predicting that this might be her last car ride through the city. Initially exasperated and grumbling, Charles is slowly lured in by her warm charm and directness, fascinated by the stories she wants to tell. Their ride takes them through the momentous locations of her life and we discover that she has had a shocking and very dramatic journey indeed. Their short friendship is sure to have a lasting impact as Madeleine listens to Charles confess his own worries, all of which she absorbs with candor and clarifying humor. Boon, an actor best known for his comedic work, creates a dramatic portrait of a frustrated man facing a personal crisis of epic proportions. His darker, sharper edges allow Renaud (renowned for decades in France as a singer) to shine as the pure shimmering light that is Madeleine. She reminds us that inside every seemingly benign elderly woman we might pass on the street is a warrior, a nurturer, and a spirited adventurer.—Cohen Media Group

Parisian cab driver Charles (Dany Boon) is having marital problems and money worries. A lucrative job comes at just the right time. The dispatcher sends him on a trip across the whole city: his passenger, 92-year-old Madeleine Keller (Line Renaud), is finally leaving her middle-class suburban home to move into a retirement home on medical advice. Charles is not very interested in this, however, as the threat of losing his driver's license worries him greatly. He reluctantly enters into a conversation with the self-confident Madame Keller, who begins to talk about her life: her first kiss as a 16-year-old (Alice Isaaz) with a US soldier after the liberation - and the unforgettable taste that still enchants her. Although the grumpy Charles initially wants to complete the journey quickly, he agrees to make stops along the way. One last time, Madeleine wants to see special places that have played a role in her long and eventful life. Madeleine is not impressed by Charles' brusqueness. With her quick-witted openness, she persuades him to open up.—ARD
