synopsis

Sandrine is 19, beautiful and full of life. She works in a supermarket during the day and as a beautician in the evenings. Her boyfriend refuses to stay in the poor village of Montigny where they live and he leaves for Brussels to find himself a job. He begs Sandrine to join him but she won't leave, her heart set on opening her own beauty parlour in Montigny. Sandrine's mother wants to help her daughter make that dream come true. When a local beauty contest is announced, Anna realises that this is Sandrine's chance to become a local celebrity and obtain a bank loan for her parlour. Sandrine is reluctant to enter the contest but, much to her surprise, passes the first selection round, winning her way through to the final. Her mother is very enthusiastic but Sandrine soon learns the price she has to pay to become 'Miss Montigny'.
Sandrine, 19 ans, est belle et pleine de vie. Elle travaille dans un supermarché la journée et en tant qu’esthéticienne en soirée. Son petit ami refuse de rester dans le pauvre village de Montigny dans lequel ils vivent et part pour Bruxelles pour se trouver un boulot. Il supplie Sandrine de le rejoindre, mais elle ne partira pas car elle voudrait ouvrir son propre institut de beauté à Montigny. La mère de Sandrine veut aider sa fille à réaliser son rêve. Lorsqu’un concours de beauté local est annoncé, Anna comprend que c’est une chance pour Sandrine de devenir une célébrité locale et d’obtenir un prêt de la banque pour son institut de beauté. Sandrine est réticente à l’idée de s’inscrire au concours mais, à sa grande surprise, elle passe la première sélection et gagne sa place en finale. Sa mère est très enthousiaste, mais Sandrine apprend vite quel est le prix à payer pour devenir « Miss Montigny ».
