Plot

At 40, Stephanie loses her job and is forced to move back in with her mother. She is welcomed with open arms to the joys of overheated apartment, Francis Cabrel playing on loop, Scrabble games and precious motherly advice on how to behave at the table and live her life.

Suddenly, the successful forty-year-old architect, Stéphanie, finds herself without a job after a botched business deal. As a result, caught between a rock and a hard place, the penniless and recently divorced single mother has no other choice but to move in with her widowed sexagenarian mother, Jacqueline, who, thankfully, welcomes her back with open arms. Now, as Stéphanie starts looking for a new job, in the meantime, both women have to become accustomed to the current conditions to make things work out. However, Jacqueline has to make an important announcement. What are her secret plans for the future?
