PAULINE AND PAULETTE
synopsis
Pauline is a 66 year-old simpleton; she cannot read, write, or even speak correctly. She lives in a Flemish village somewhere between Brussels and the Belgian coast. Pauline' s older sister Martha has been taking care of her ever since their parents passed away. Then Martha suddenly dies. Martha left a will stipulating that all her worldly possessions and the proceeds of the sale of her house would go to one surviving sisters: the one who takes care of Pauline. Both sisters are interested in the inheritance but neither one (not Paulette who has a little shop in the village, nor Cécile who lives in Brussels) wants to take care of Pauline…
