1999 Madeleine is the first step in an ambitious project by the French filmmaker Laurent Bouhnik to make one film per year between 1999-2009, recounting the turn of the century in an interweaving narrative pattern.

Her solitary existence leads her to place an advertisement for a man willing to share his life with a 'single, working 35-year-old.'
