 Maguy Boissier (Varte, Rosy) is an independant woman living in the mid-80 s through early 90 s. Witty and sarcastic, she lives with her likeable husband, George, and works at the town hall of Vésinet, while George owns a store that sells electric household appliances. Also living with the Boisser s are their divorced daughter, Caroline, and their granddaughter (Caroline s daughter) Jerome. Maguy shares her loud, strong opinions with all of them, as well as their cleaning lady, Rose Plouhannec, whose opinions are just as strong as her s, and George s best friend, Pierre Garcin, who has military history and a tendency to get on his sister-in-law s nerves.
