Renvoyée du couvent, elle hérite d'un étang mort pour 1€ — ce que son chien y déterre change tout

Expelled from the convent, she inherits a dead pond for €1 — what her dog unearths changes everything Céleste Aumont, a former biologist specializing in aquatic environments, is expelled from the convent where she had lived for ten years, wrongly accused of stealing a reliquary. Penniless, without family, without recourse, she inherits, through an anonymous notarial deed, a pond that has been dead for twenty years and a dilapidated farmhouse at the bottom of a Dordogne valley. Alone, with a crowbar, in sub-zero temperatures, she breaks through the layer of clay that is suffocating the underground spring and brings the water back to life. The first trout. The first market. Then a smiling middleman buys everything — and steals her name. Then a herbicide sprayed at night in the upstream stream that kills two years of work in a few hours. It is her dog who finds the burlap sack under the shed's planks that explains everything — and changes everything.
