n'a pas le choix, son mari l'ayant laissée pour Christine, elle doit se refaire une nouvelle vie. Commence alors une remise en question totale, non seulement d'elle-même en tant que mère et épouse, mais de sa vie de couple tout entière. Car au fil des ans, elle s'est souvent oubliée pour les siens. Désormais seule, Laurianne ne se connaît plus, ne sait plus se faire plaisir; elle se questionne, elle doute... Gilles a-t-il eu raison de croire que l'herbe serait plus verte chez le voisin? À cinquante ans, pourra-t-elle s'abandonner à un nouveau partenaire, après trois décennies d'une fidélité à toute épreuve?
