WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Former Hollywood star Helen (Joan Collins) escapes her London retirement home with her best friend Priscilla (Pauline Collins), a bored housewife, and they both set out on a road trip to the west coast of France, with the intention of gate-crashing her ex-husband’s funeral. Along the way, they become entangled in a series of adventures where their friendship is tested numerous times…

Two Collinses – Joan and Pauline – unite on-screen for a fun and outrageous road trip that’s bound to appeal to anyone with a fascination for either actress, even in their later years.
