Rooted in the landscapes of the Gironde estuary, Le Retour aux Alizés tells the story of a generation of women who, as they reach the age of maturity, must deal with the torments of the heart and the imperatives of duty. Juliette Leroux, exiled in Canada for three years, returns to Les Alizés, near Bordeaux, to attend the funeral of her ex-husband. Isabelle, her daughter, is doing a great job of managing the family vineyard. But she welcomes her mother with mixed feelings, and Juliette finds comfort in her childhood friend, Nicolas Frémont, a businessman and associate of her exhusband and his successor as mayor of Saint-Louis. He tells her that the company, which he will have to run alone from now on, is in dire financial straits...

But the venture soon meets with fierce opposition from locals defending the promotion of their vineyards...
