The film is about the Wallace couple's annual vacation trips from England to the French Mediterranean coast. On the first trip, Joanna and Mark get to know each other, later they drive together with a befriended couple and their daughter. Years later with Mark's client, then alone again, and finally with their daughter - each time on the same route.

The narrative order of the trips is not in chronological order, it is based on the local and thematic contexts.

Reviews

• Lexicon of international film : "A light-weight comedy with a serious background, excellently played and edited, but not always entirely credible when the problems are superficially covered."
• Evangelical film observer : “High-quality, light entertainment film in which the development of a marriage up to alienation is shown. Convincing in the cheerful passages, but not entirely successful in the serious passages, the film is particularly worth seeing because of the play by Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney. Recommended from the age of 18. "(Review No. 392/1967)
• The Wiesbaden film evaluation agency gave the work the rating of “valuable”.
