Felicien, le maire
Bernadette tiene un yen para tirarlo todo y volver a la naturaleza en esta película canadiense en francés. Eso es justo lo que hace después de dejar cuidadosamente su anillo de bodas donde su rico esposo, un abogado, puede verlo. Ella ha comprado una granja, completa con una granja destartalada y un anciano malhumorado. Pronto, debido a los maravillosos efectos que tienen su simpatía y la perspectiva de su forastero, sus vecinos perciben grandes mejoras en sus vidas. Atribuyen estos cambios a algo milagroso (tal vez siguiendo el ejemplo de su nombre), y hordas de personas necesitadas descienden a su granja.
