Tandis que leur père a annoncé qu'il quittait la maison, et que leur mère en recherche d'emploi a accepté un stage à Montréal, Léa, Adrien et leur petit frère Théo, sourd de naissance, partent en vacances en dernière minute en Provence chez leur grand-père Paul qu'ils n'ont jamais rencontré. En effet, Paul et sa fille sont brouillés depuis 17 ans, et il n'a jamais été rendre visite à ses petits enfants. C'est leur grand-mère, Irène, épouse de Paul, qui les emmène sans prévenir ce dernier. Dès leur installation, le choc des générations se fait ressentir entre ces ados citadins et connectés, et ce grand-père de prime abord psychorigide et arriéré. Au fil du temps, les petits-enfants découvriront chez leur grand-père, que derrière ce personnage bourru se cache une personne pleine de surprises, ancien hippie et motard ayant parcouru le monde entier avant de se retirer et de cultiver des oliviers. Les vacances ne s'annonceront pas si désastreuses que cela, entre les moments en famille et les rencontres et premières amourettes au village, le pizzaiolo pour la jeune fille, les belles touristes suédoises pour le plus grand. Quant au tout petit, il n'aura d'yeux que pour son grand-père, et ce malgré ses fêlures et son net penchant pour l'alcool.
