Synopsis :
Argenson, 1855: two clans defy each other: the affluent "High Society", led by the governor and his wife Hortense on the one side, and the "Boutique", the shop-keepers, with Zelie Fontaine at their head, on the other side. As Zelie is Hortense's friend, she agrees to act as a go-between, receiving and forwarding Hortense's love letters.
