Le divorce

Isabel Walker embarks on a journey to Paris seeking refuge with her sister Roxy. Roxy is at a crossroads in her life, dealing with the emotional fallout of her husband's betrayal and abandonment.

Roxy struggles with the pain of being left alone and pregnant after her husband, Charles-Henri, has chosen to marry his mistress, Magda Tellman. The revelation of Charles-Henri's infidelity deeply wounds Roxy, testing her resolve.

The controversial painting of Saint Ursula, attributed to Georges de La Tour, becomes a focal point of contention between Roxy and Charles-Henri. The Louvre's dismissal of its authenticity sparks heated debates about its true value and ownership.

As Isabel acclimates to her new surroundings, she receives encouragement from local author Olivia Pace. This interaction sets the stage for Isabel's personal growth amidst the chaos surrounding her sister.

Isabel's romantic interests begin to unfold as she first meets Yves, Olivia’s protégé. However, she soon becomes intrigued by Edgar Cosset, a wealthy man who initiates an affair with her despite his marital status.

Magda Tellman's obsession with Roxy intensifies, fueled by the belief that Roxy is responsible for her husband's departure. This leads to confrontations that threaten both Isabel and Roxy's safety.

Roxy's emotional state deteriorates as she grapples with the fallout from her husband's actions. A late complication in her pregnancy leads her to a suicide attempt, highlighting her fragility.

The arrival of Roxy and Isabel's extended family from abroad exacerbates the already fraught relationships. The impending divorce proceedings and the painting controversy weave a complex web of tension.

Amélie, Edgar's wife, discovers his affair with Isabel, leading to a tense brunch where secrets start to unravel. This confrontation fosters further animosity among all parties involved.

The emotional strain culminates when Tellman, driven by rage, murders both Magda and Charles-Henri. The shocking discovery of their bodies sends waves of horror through the community and thrusts Roxy into premature labor.

In a dramatic confrontation at the Eiffel Tower, Tellman confronts Isabel, brandishing a firearm. Isabel's quick thinking allows her to diffuse the situation, leading to his surrender and a moment of catharsis.

Despite the intense emotions, Edgar decides to end his affair with Isabel, presenting her with a beautiful Hermes scarf as a farewell token. This marks a poignant moment in Isabel’s tumultuous journey.

As Roxy begins to adapt to the challenges of new motherhood, she discovers a renewed sense of love with Bertram. Their connection culminates in a wedding, symbolizing a fresh start for her.

The painting of Saint Ursula is sold at the Getty Museum auction for an astounding 4.5 million Euros, securing the Walker family's financial future. This pivotal moment also cements the family's commitment to the arts.

After the selling of the painting, the Walker family establishes the 'Fondation Sainte Ursule,' intertwining their philanthropic ambitions with their newfound fortunes in the art world. This initiative highlights their hope for healing and growth.
