Mélanie, a young country girl, has a visitor for the summer vacation: her long-time pen pal, a city girl named Florence. The summer is expected to be nice and peaceful, but then the girls, inspired by Saint-Exupéry's "Little Prince" decide to "tame" a solitary old lady who is feared by all the children in the village. When the mysterious old lady's most precious possessions, her jewelry and her pet pig, are stolen, the two friends become private detectives. Suddenly, events take a different turn and the calm summer is interspersed with exciting adventures. Above and beyond the search for the stolen booty, Mélanie and Florence discover the sad fate of the elderly.
