Melanie can't stand her life anymore, a source of too much suffering. One day she decides to end it all and sets off in a stolen car on a suicidal race on the highway. But at a gas station, a somewhat eccentric old woman discreetly slips into the vehicle. Garance has a habit of randomly taking a seat in other people's cars, with only her suitcase and a binder bearing the title "The Flight Ceremony of the Northern Gannet".
