The little king is called Mathieu. He is thirteen years old and has recently been living with his grandfather in an isolated farmhouse in the mountains. His mother left him there, in this lost house, far from everything, with no explanation, no time to hold on to, no hope of seeing each other again for a long time.

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. Episode one is about Madeline, a lonely woman obsessed by religion and cleanliness. Her solitary existence leads her to place an advertisement for a man willing to share his life with a 'single, working 35-year-old.' She is a woman of our times who is caught between the paradoxes of modern life and individual needs for communication. The world offers her opportunities to satisfy material needs but, unfortunately, this is to the detriment of her spiritual needs.
