Seven elderly women and their bus driver band together to survive when their bus breaks down in the Quebec countryside. Through the long days and nights that follow this group of strangers face the crisis with humour and spirit, sharing their life stories and exchanging their most intimate revelations. Blurring the boundary between fiction and reality through its use of non-professional actors and improvised dialogue, this film, one of the most successful features in NFBC history, is a frank and warm portrayal of elderly women's lives.
