Bernadette tiene un yen para tirarlo todo y volver a la naturaleza en esta película canadiense en francés. Eso es justo lo que hace después de dejar cuidadosamente su anillo de bodas donde su rico esposo, un abogado, puede verlo. Ella ha comprado una granja, completa con una granja destartalada y un anciano malhumorado.
