At first the two don't get along, yet the two eventually become friends. However, Sandrine is invited to accompany an American student for an overnight stay at the beach, which would leave Tatie alone for a night.

The fire becomes a national story, with Tatie cast as a poor old lady and the family labeled as cruel and heartless villains.
