Madeline

In 1956 Paris, a young orphaned girl named Madeline attends a Catholic boarding school with eleven other girls, taught by the strict yet loving nun Miss Clavel and fed by the passionate chef Hélène. Despite having neither a family nor money, Madeline maintains a positive, yet mischievous attitude. As she navigates her relationships with the school's board of trustees member Lord Covington and his terminally ill wife Lady Covington, who shares her love for the school, Madeline uses her wit and craftiness to attempt to save it from being sold, making an unlikely new friend in the process.
