Aunt Iris has seen two centuries. Childless, persuaded that her grandnephews are after her inheritance, she still intends to reach a hundred years of living, even alone, lost in her North Western French countryside. Before, she was a society woman, with a sharp and smart tongue. Nobody knows what happened between both states. And there is the foreigner, the supposed-to-be Parisian. He has just arrived, and says that he's a biographer and wants to write her life. To make justice. And, as one goes along, the memories come back, the better as the worst ones.
