Synopsis

With old disco records in the boot of her Twingo, still reeling from her grandmother’s death, Charlie sets off. She doesn’t yet know that these records will bring her mother’s dance moves back to life in the tearful eyes of Titou, a dreamy wine merchant, nor that a deserted Mediterranean beach will be the setting for her encounter with Marina, who dreams of her ideal of freedom in the village pizzeria. For now, she’s just driving.
