| Description: | After the sudden death of Albert, her husband for nearly forty years, Adele, a mother of eight children, aged 57, finds herself alone, and feels betrayed. Given her grudges, she risks falling into a depression but eventually tries to take control of her destiny and to open the door to the world around her. Through this race for survival, she discovers friendship, analyzes the past, legitimizes her life while justifying her frustrations without bitterness. Enriched and strengthened by the discoveries of friendship, she dares to realize a long-standing dream: going on a long trip abroad. |
