Diane is no spring chicken when she comes, and Adri can do what he pleases with her for one month. Henri isn't too happy about Diane, because Adri doesn't do his job anymore. When Diane also behaves like a prostitute at a village wedding, Adri finally agrees with his brother that the woman has to go. Only the milkman's wife defends her, she wants an honorable departure for Diane. However, a controversial discovery is made when the milkman dies, ensuring that Diane stays longer than expected.
