Childhood friends Pierrot, Mimile and Antoine, are now 70 years old and have realised that getting old was the only way to not die and are determined to do it in style! Their reunion at Antoine’s wife Lucette’s funeral, is short-lived… Antoine comes across a letter that makes him lose his head! Without any explanation to his friends, he leaves their hometown in the Tarn and heads to Tuscanny.  Pierrot, Mimile and Sophie, Antoine’s granddaughter, who is heavily pregnant, chase after him in the hope of stopping him from committing a crime of passion, fifty years after the event!”
