A lighthearted road-trip comedy about a bickering ex-couple forced together by circumstance, discovering warmth beneath their antagonism as they journey toward their daughter's wedding.

The eruption of the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull causes major disruptions to travelers' plans around the world. For Alain and Valérie, it's a catastrophe. Because to make it to the small Greek village in time for their daughter's wedding, this divorced couple, whose mutual hatred knows no bounds, will be obliged to set out on the road together.
