Actor: Carmen Maura

Saint-Loin-La-Mauderne – a once-thriving town – is now a sleepy village. Germain, the mayor, is determined to revive it and convinces a company to open up a factory there. The only thing missing to close the factory deal: a resident doctor. And Dr Maxime Mayer might just be the one. A brilliant but troubled surgeon, Dr Mayer is forced to spend a month in the village. Germain has a plan: turn the town into such an ideal place that Dr Mayer will love it and decide to move there. Even if turning the village into a sophisticated, modern one might involve a few white lies…

Teresa, Carmen, Dolorès, Concepcion and their niece Maria who just arrived from Burgos. Jean-Louis will unexpectedly tie bonds with them, especially with Maria. She is young, pretty, happy and full of joy. In a word, Jean-Louis’s life is about to change… a lot.
