Françoise has just been dumped by her husband for a much younger woman. In order to cheer her up, and to celebrate her 60th birthday, sisters Rose and Alice decide to take their mother to a resort on the tropical island of Reunion so they can relax, work on their tans, and have too many margaritas. But when Rose pays a one-night stand, Thierry, to show her mother a good time, their holiday plans start to unravel.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is basically France's answer to Book Club but with actual stakes—middle-aged women's sexuality remains so taboo that hiring a sex worker for your mom counts as progressive cinema.
Camille Cottin had just broken through with Call My Agent! when this filmed; her Rose is essentially the same chaotic energy minus the industry glamour.
