It’s never to late to start over…

Paulette is 85 and is ready for a retirement home. But not just any, she wants the very best, most luxurious one she can find to spend her remaining days. But to convince her son to ship her off, she needs to convince him that she can’t take care of herself anymore. And she does. Her plan has gone perfectly and he and her daughter-in-law drive her to her new home. Except that her new home is not what she was expecting. Instead of taking her to the first-class retirement community in the south of France, they take her to a simple inn about an hour from Paris.

Ok, no problem, this is just a minor setback that Paulette can fix. She continues her charade of being a looney old lady who can’t take care of herself until, little by little, she grows fond of her fellow inn-mates. And not only can she take care of herself, but they can take care of her too. Monsieur George, in particular, who at this late age will manage to steal her heart. It’s never too late to make new friends and for 85-year-old Paulette, her life takes on new meaning when these new friends become her family.
