This drama concerns a young woman who takes far too long to grow up. Nanou (Imogen Stubbs) skips out of England to bum around Europe and have some adventures. Leaving Geneva behind after a stint at waitressing, she meets and eventually moves in with a roust-about named Luc (Jean-Philippe Ecoffey). Luc is ostensibly a '60s revolutionary, spouting all the right jargon and apparently committed to noble but illegal activities that help the working masses. He involves Nanou in his shenanigans, which include anything from dashing off political grafitti to a plot to blow up a railroad track.
