The cunning young woman uses her knowledge and beauty to climb little by little in the social pyramid, so much so that she becomes the favorite of King Louis XV, who without knowing that she is a working-class girl, gives her what is necessary to Restore the will to live. Jeanne and Luis end up falling madly in love with each other, with all the scandal that this entails among the court, who see how a courtesan arrives at the Palace of Versailles to become the faithful support of the King of France.
