Synopsis
André Polonski, a virtuoso pianist, and Mika Muller, CEO of the Muller chocolate company, marry in Lausanne. Their first, brief relationship had occurred some years earlier. After this, André had married Lisbeth, with whom he had a son, Guillaume. On Guillaume’s sixth birthday, while the family was staying in Switzerland with Mika, Lisbeth was killed in a car accident… Jeanne Pollet, a young pianist preparing for a competition in Budapest, learns in passing that she had almost been swapped with Guillaume Polonksi on the day of her birth. In search of her origins and a mentor, Jeanne will insinuate her way into a family not her own.
