Synopsis
Madame Pierre, known as Mammy, dotes on her grandson Maurice. He has been away in Canada for ten years, and is a disreputable lowlife. However her husband has created a false image of a decent, happily-married architect for her benefit. When news comes of Maurice's disappearance in a plane crash, Mammy is so distraught that her husband hires a young couple to pose as Maurice and his invented wife Marthe, in the hope that his wife will accept them as real.
