Official synopsis
A new pandemic has caused the world to stop. Adis and Cindy take advantage of the little freedom they have left to escape the city. They have a plan to scatter the ashes of their late friend Fatou in the natural region of Ardeche, her favorite place, where she used to hang out... on Google Maps. This journey – under strict police surveillance – faces the two friends with landscapes and nature they never had access to.
