Synopsis:

It's summer and 27-year-old Sam is heading south in his Ford. He is accompanied by a brother and sister, Mathieu and Léa, whom he meets by chance on his journey. Léa is beautiful and loves men, as does Mathieu. Having set out on a long trip, far from the motorways, headed for Spain, they will learn to understand, confront and love each other. But Sam has a secret, an old wound that isolates him more and more every day. Separated from his mother during childhood, the sole purpose of this trip is to find her.

In the summer, 27 year-old Sam drives towards the south of France in his Ford. He meets Matthieu and his sister Léa and takes them along in his apparently aimless journey. Matthieu has a crush on Sam and tries to seduce him. Lea is a beautiful, young, provocative girl who likes men so much that she got pregnant. She soon brings along Jérémie with them. Throughout the trip, they learn to know, fight and love each other. In spite of a blooming relationship with Matthieu, Sam isolates himself because of his secret : he is headed for Spain to find his long-lost mother.

Follows 27-year-old Sam as he travels towards the Portuguese mountains to see his mother. Along the way, he picks up three hitchhikers and the journey unfolds at a relaxed holiday pace, from service stations to village dances. For each of the protagonists, the journey is a sentimental education. But for Sam, it is also an opportunity to question his life choices and revisit dark childhood memories.
