We are all someone else's old person!

A hilarious initiatory journey in which Joséphine discovers at 85 that others are not her enemies.

Joséphine, an octogenarian, racist, delightfully exasperating woman, wins a trip for what she thought was her destiny: to see the obelisk. But her dream turns into a nightmare: she finds herself… in Egypt! For the first time in her life, she confronts others. Her prejudices against foreigners and young people are matched only by those she herself suffers as an “old person”.

A funny and moving road trip about prejudice, stupidity, and ignorance. A true initiatory journey to Wonderland, which proves that with a little open-mindedness, the Other is a source of richness and a friend! At 85, Joséphine discovers that anything is still possible!
