Everything is for the best in the best of all possible worlds, until the day Claudine, tired of the countryside and especially the suffocating cohabitation with her formidable mother-in-law, decides to take her husband to Paris for a new life! Maria, feeling betrayed, becomes furiously angry with her only son…
