Film Synopsis

After a disastrous experience during the making of a film in another country, 26-year-old Ana heads back to her home town of Strasbourg.  With a relationship break-down still preying on her mind, Ana needs some time out to take stock of her life, and to that end she decides to spend some time with her grandmother, to whom she is closely attached.  When her dear relative has to go into hospital, Ana decides to undertake some home improvements for her, such as replacing the old bath tub with a new shower.  Her period of re-adjustment is perturbed by the sudden unexpected return of her ex, but she has more than enough to keep her occupied.  She has allowed herself a full year to put her life in order, which gives her plenty of time to drive about in her Porsche, gather fruit with her mother and sleep with her best friend.  At the end of this year of improvised self-indulgences, she is sure to be a better person...
