Nora is in her 30s and has barely left her village. When her grandfather passes away, Nora decides to journey along the Basque coast to reunite his ashes’ with her grandma’s.
Nora lives a humdrum life and writes the astrology column for the village magazine, though she dreams of becoming a travel writer one day. When her grandfather dies, he leaves her an old Dyane 6 van. Even if she is a terrible driver, Nora sets on a road trip along the Basque coast to take her grandpa’s ashes next to her grandma’s. Along the way, Nora will soon find out that she is not a natural-born traveller and that her old dream has nothing to do with her, really. It was just an excuse for her to take the chance and be free, grow up, heal her wounds, and, for the first time in her life, let herself be happy.
