L'été de ses dix-huit ans, Anita Grankvist s'était fixé trois objectifs : apprendre à conduire une moto, acheter une maison, et devenir complètement indépendante. Presque vingt ans plus tard, elle mène une petite vie tranquille, un peu fade, seule avec sa fille Emma, et travaille au supermarché local. Quand cette dernière part à l'université, Anita commence à prendre des leçons de moto, se lance dans un projet impossible, renoue le contact avec sa mère légèrement sénile, et tombe follement amoureuse. Qu'il est doux de se dire qu'il n'est jamais trop tard pour profiter de la vie... Et n'est-ce pas merveilleux de réaliser ses rêves d'adolescence à l'approche de la quarantaine ?
