Recognizable by their red and blue macaron, their family gastronomy made of buttery cooking and very full plates, roadside restaurants are indisputably part of our French heritage. However, for several years, these places of life and exchange have been gradually disappearing from our territory. However, some continue to believe in it. At 52, Djamal decided to revive a long-abandoned roadside restaurant. After investing all his savings and carrying out months of work, he will end up living his dream. In the Basque Country, Claire was not so lucky. Since the construction of a nearby motorway, truck drivers no longer pass in front of her small restaurant. For her last day before a definitive closure, she invited her most loyal truckers to an evening that will remain engraved in her heart for a long time. At the wheel of his truck for 32 years, Pascal has become the white knight of roadside restaurants. To help them and guide his colleagues on the road to a good table, he created a website in which he distributes comments and stars in the style of the famous Michelin Guide. When one fine day, in the Limousin region, he discovers a restaurant that he is not about to forget. To ensure that this French tradition does not die, Céline spares no effort. From morning to night, this strong-willed woman is omnipresent in her restaurant. Located in the heart of Corrèze, it is one of the last establishments still open. But with such a pace of work, how much longer will this young woman be able to hold on? Who are the owners of these friendly brasseries? How do they manage not to close? Despite the announced death of these establishments, some have taken on the challenge of saving this heritage of French gastronomic culture. Director: 2020 Production date: GUILLAUME BARTHÉLÉMY
