Juliette, her granddaughter offers to take her there. Danielle jumps at the opportunity to meet women of her age, in each country they pass through.
Intimate words and knowledge from the world mix together, in order to convey a funny and sensitive portrait of women.
The adventure becomes an act of transmission, and « The great journey », a hymn to life!
