feet firmly on the ground

Married and mother of a grown-up daughter, Agnès Duval (Florence Pernel) is very proud of the twenty-seven skyscrs she has built in twenty-seven European countries for a famous construction group (she I don’t like to say building). She seems to have succeeded in everything. She took advantage of the privileges afforded to her by her position, allowed herself differences with a young executive (Tanguy Vrignault) and even won the Legion of Honor. She intends to enjoy her retirement, but Pierre, her husband (excellent Bernard Malaka), tells her that he is leaving her. Not for another woman, simply because he feels alone and is tired of his selfishness. Disconcerted, Agnès, who has always lived at a hundred miles an hour without worrying about others, must question herself.
