During a heavy snow shower, a strange company comes together at a small hotel lost in the French Alps: Madame Gaultier, running away from her stepchildren who were about to bring her to a lunatic asylum… Madame Gaultier’s stepchildren looking for their runaway mother… And patients of the same asylum where the old woman was taken… The patients are escorted by a nurse – Mademoiselle Irene… The entire staff of the hotel consists of one person, an administrator named Pierre… Madame Gaultier’s stepchildren are hunting the securities in which she had invested all the family wealth that she inherited from her deceased husband. There is a heavy struggle to come for these securities. Yet before getting their hands on the valuable papers the stepchildren have to find Madame Gaultier first. This is not going to be easy – because the hotel turned out to be a very unusual place…
