When Lars Hammar retires after 40 years as a beloved French teacher in Köping, he sees ahead of him a lovely “third age” with travel, wine and experiences together with his wife Tiina. But it doesn’t turn out the way he planned. Instead of enjoying the good things in life, Lars becomes increasingly passive and listless at home in his leather armchair, to the great frustration and despair of both Tiina and their son Filip.

Then Filip gets an idea – to take his frail old father to his beloved France and let him see again the places he loved most in life. By making the same car trip that the family used to make when Filip was a child and secretly staging some of life’s most beautiful moments, he hopes to rekindle Lars’ spark of life. For his help, Filip takes his best friend Fredrik, a few generous doses of optimism and resourcefulness and an old orange Renault 4. The adventure can begin!
