Nicole is 74 years old and lives aboard cruise ships. So do Françoise, Nadine, and Michel. They are known as “back-to-back” passengers, who go from one cruise to the next without ever disembarking. This colorful group has decided to swap the daily routine of a retirement home for a never-ending voyage.
Coline Renault, 28, embarked with these old pirates on a cruise in the North Sea, accompanied by her grandmother Andrée, a Normandy native who is as rough around the edges as she is mischievous. Anxious about the passing of time, the young journalist sees her certainties shaken by a question that haunts her: is old age always a shipwreck?
A funny and poetic journey, halfway between reportage and coming-of-age story.
