Until an accident on the way to school changes everything!Social services give Suzanne no choice: if she wants to keep custody of her kids, she must go into rehab. The initial detox is brutal, but Suzanne starts to find strength in the people around her: the abrasive but endearing Alice, an orphan afraid of her origins; Diane, a washed-up actress whose daughter hates her; and Chantal who has lost everything and battles despair with wry humor. In charge of them is Denis, their sports coach and car workshop teacher, who has signed them up for a women’s car rally in Morocco. Missing her kids like crazy, Suzanne finally makes a choice and joins forces with the other women, as they slowly and sometimes painfully learn to adapt to life without booze. And as bonds of friendship and solidarity grow between them.-official synopsis
