The new President of France, a bachelor, launches an unprecedented contest to find his First Lady. This is how the daughter of a cleaning woman becomes the heroine of an exceptional destiny.
Claude Féder, newly elected president of France, makes a sensational announcement. He wishes to set up a contest to find his perfect feminine counterpart, the future First Lady of France. Excitement runs high among the single women of France as this most unusual contest promises to be democratic, transparent and a vibrant media event.
Inès Santos is in her early forties and the daughter of a Spanish cleaning woman. She was brought up almost like a sister to Marie, the daughter of her mother's employers. Thanks to her intelligence, Inès has learned all the codes and culture that a wealthy Parisian upbringing can bring but she has never really felt like one of them, nor acquired their self-assurance.
Nevertheless, when Marie signs up for the contest, Inès reveals an ambition that surprises everyone and joins the contest herself. Like a modern-day Cinderella, she progressively discovers her potential, her deepest desires and her doubts. All this in the midst of the ups and downs of the contest, the media whipped into a frenzy and the uncontrollable internet. Will Inès be able to come through all this on top?
