Shy and introverted, Micheline is married to Jean-Claude, a plumber gruff, and mother of three grown son Alain, Yves and Olivier. When she reveals that she has signed up for driving lessons her husband is disgruntled. He feels that 1) he could have taught her to drive himself and 2) why does she need to drive anyway. This tells us immediately that he is an old-fashioned 'woman's place is in the home' type of husband. Micheline's only friend appears to be Daniel, the young son of a neighbouring couple, who is autistic, and once she has passed her test - not without some mildly humorous mishaps - Daniel accompanies her on a journey to Belgium, where she meets an old flame albeit innocuously. That's about it but as someone once said, it's not the arrival it's the journey and this is a lovely ride.
