The charming, touching and funny portrait of a woman who grudgingly sets out on an adventurous quest of self-discovery through a breathtaking mountainous landscape. With the school year coming to an end, teacher Antoinette is looking forward to the summer holidays, part of which she plans to spend with her clandestine lover Vladimir, the father of one of her pupils. But when Vladimir unexpectedly calls off their mutual plans in favour of a family hiking trip to Cévennes National Park, Antoinette decides to follow in their footsteps with a hired donkey named Patrick.

Laure Calamy shines in this romantic comedy, earning a César Award for Best Actress for her performance. A carefree film about overcoming obstacles both physical and mental, it takes audiences on a refreshing journey through scenic yet rugged wilderness in not-always-perfect tandem with a stubborn donkey.
