Mathilde, 9, has been living alone with her mother Hélène. Her bad school grades are a sore point with her mother, and Mathilde spends much of her time lurking under her bed in a secret, mysterious world of her own. One night, she slips out of the house and makes her way to the nursing home where her grandfather is moldering. She has with her a letter from Madeleine, Paul's wife, who supposedly died thirty years ago. Mathilde has found Madeleine isn't really dead. She's here to take Paul away, so he'll help her find her grandmother.
