Following the death of her young husband in the Great War, Julia Packett decides to leave her daughter Susan with her aristocratic mother-in-law and go to London to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. Now, at 37 and penniless, she receives a letter in which Susan announces her wedding plans. With a renewed maternal spirit, Julia grabs her few belongings and travels to Les Sapins, the beautiful alpine village where Grandma Packett, Susan and Bryan Relton, the fiancé, spend their summers. Once there, an unpredictable family festival begins: Grandma chases Julia around the village with her pastry recipes; Bryan seems more interested in spending the pounds of his allowance than generating them and Julia exhausts herself playing the role of demure lady to please her perfect and uptight daughter. The arrival in Les Sapins of Sir William Waring, Susan's legal guardian, will be the delicious icing on this crazy cake.
