Finding a million euros in a trash can - who doesn't dream of that? For cleaner Hortense, this dream comes true. Her problem: the money was lost by the corrupt casino boss Monsieur Lecroc, who doesn't even own it. Things get tense for Hortense, as Lecroc will stop at nothing to get the million back. For the 70-year-old, this means: time to get away. Together with her friend Katia, she makes a run for it and uses the escape to fulfill a long-held dream: to eat crêpes in Étretat in Normandy with a view of the cliffs.
