Synopsis.
In the 1990s, four friends get together at a party and write their future aspirations on pieces of paper and put them into a bottle, promising that one day they will read them together.
About fifteen years later, Stéphanie, Claude, Isabelle and Mimi each have different professional and romantic lives but are still best friends. One evening they break open the bottle, read the wishes and decide to fulfil Stéphanie's wish: that all four might live together for a year with their children in a house without men.
After the four women and seven children seek a large enough house, the elderly Mme. Baers offers them accommodation. The women and their children — except for Isa, who wants to remain with her minister husband — move in together but concoct a plan to make her change her mind.
Three of the women and their children — Isabelle, the holdout, wants to remain with her minister husband — move in together and devise a plan to make her change her mind.
