Synopsis: France, around 1900. Coming from the vibrancy of Paris, pert Célestine is procured as a chambermaid in Normandy.

Célestine is determined to avoid the fate suffered by the cook Marianne who has already secretly killed one child born out of wedlock and now despairingly realises she is pregnant again.
