synopsis

Pauline, a 66-year-old little girl - she cannot read or write, doesn't even talk correctly - lives in a Flemish village between Brussels and the Belgian Coast. It is Martha, her oldest sister, who takes care of her since the death of their parents. One day, Martha dies. Martha has left a will: the result of the sale of her house and also her legacy will go to the one of her two sisters who will take care of Pauline. Both are interested by the will, but neither Paulette - who has a ladies clothes' shop in the village - nor Cécile, who lives in Brussels, wants to take care of Pauline. Although Pauline is in full admiration of Paulette. But Paulette doesn't have the time and is tired of sending Pauline back whenever she comes to see her in the shop. Will Pauline finally convince Paulette? Cécile and Paulette, will they inherit? And if so... what?
Pauline, une vieille petite fille de 66 ans (elle ne sait ni lire, ni écrire et ne sait même pas parler correctement) vit dans un village flamand situé entre Bruxelles et la côte belge. C’est Martha, sa sœur aînée, qui prend soin d’elle depuis la mort de ses parents. Un jour, Martha décède. Martha a laissé une volonté, l’argent récolé par la vente de sa maison ainsi que son héritage iront à celle des deux autres sœurs qui s’occupera de Pauline. Les deux sont intéressées par l’argent, mais aucune (ni Paulette qui tient une boutique de vêtements pour femme dans le village, ni Cécile qui vit à Bruxelles) ne veut prendre soin de Pauline, bien que celle-ci soit en grande admiration devant Paulette. Mais Paulette n’a pas le temps de s’occuper de sa sœur et en a assez de la renvoyer à chaque fois qu’elle vient lui rendre visite dans sa boutique. Pauline va-t-elle finalement convaincre Paulette ? Cécile et Paulette vont-elles hériter ? Et si c’est le cas, que se passera-t-il ?
