Having given birth to an illegitimate child, the product of a feverish love affair with Mathieu, a young man
working on her father's farm, Madeleine is forced to marry Valentin, whom she doesn't love. When she gets
the chance to escape to Paris to work as a wet-nurse, she jumps at it. Isn't that where Mathieu is hiding out
after he was accused of a crime he did not commit ? After enduring the humiliating recruitment procedure,
Madeleine is employed by Madame Dumayet Ponti, a stern German widow. From now on, her task will be to
devote herself to Mademoiselle Rose, Madame's granddaughter.

The script has been inspired by the book by Fanny Fay Sallois "The wet nurses in Paris in the 21st century"
published by Edition Payot.
