It is in her early thirties that the writer Elizabeth Gilbert, which seems to succeed professionally as well as emotionally,
finds herself one night in tears on the cold tiles of her bathroom. This
young New Yorker has everything to be happy but instead of happiness it is a great emptiness which overcomes her. After some months of distress and questionings, Elizabeth take a brave but radical decision which will definitively change the course of her
life : she divorces, loses almost everything she had and goes during a year on a
trip which will give a significance.
