In 1866, fifteen-year-old Margalide, an orphan living in the Pyrenees, yearns for a life beyond her small village and the rigid traditions of her community. Raised by her grandfather, she decides to seek her own path by joining her uncle, a traveling peddler, on his journey across France. This coming-of-age journey exposes her to the dangers of the outside world while leading to extraordinary discoveries and her first true love. Through this poignant portrait, Georges Coulonges masterfully brings to life the 19th-century tradition of peddling, exploring themes of freedom, fraternity, and the struggle for independence in a traditional rural society.
